Recurring Transactions #74

Closed josolanes closed 2 years ago

josolanes commented 2 years ago

I'd like to see recurring transactions added (monthly, weekly, bi-weekly, annually, etc) to make managing regularly occurring bills more or less automated

TheAxelander commented 2 years ago

Just to understand your use case better:

Instead of importing a bunch of transactions (which then also contains recurring postings) you enter them manually. To simplify this the goal is to automate the creation of recurring transactions.

Is this interpretation correct or what is the overall background of having automated generation of transactions?

natrius commented 2 years ago

Yes, its interesting for that usecase. An automatic importer for my bank is basically not possible, so i would have to enter everything manually anyway. Plus, there are people who are going to sit down and enter everything manually so they have an eye on everything faster.

TheAxelander commented 2 years ago

Got the point. I will work on that for the next version

josolanes commented 2 years ago

Thanks @TheAxelander ! As @natrius mentioned, I fall into the category who prefers maintaining it all within software directly instead of importing CSVs. I think managing recurring transactions would be easier than importing CSVs, and allows me to be more aware of what's going on

Hey all,

I didn't had much time in the past months to work on it, but now it is available in pre-release
