Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

When I make a budget to a schedule, It's implied that it should be respected, it's bill... If not payed this month, I will need to pay it next month! So in the next month the budget should be the month template, plus the unmet bill from the previews month.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Exemple:

Bills Category: `

template schedule Gas Bill

template schedule Light Bill

`

Schedules: Gas Bill: 50 Light Bill: 100

October:

Bills Category Budget: 150 Payed 100

November

Bills Category Budget: 150 + 50 (From October)

To avoid breaking changes, we could add a "important" tag for exemple to the template to say that the template MUST be met, or it will be added to the budget in the next month

The rollover should take care of this for you already - there will be 50 remaining in the bills category that will be rolled over to the next month.

Template used: #template schedule {schedule name} (scheduled as -100)

Month 1 (50 paid):

Month 2 - shows 150 budgeted:

I see my problem... I think this is not a Feature But a Bug... Look at my exemple:

I have a bill that only applies to December, so I have this template:

template schedule Bill Month

template schedule full Bill December

this is my November:

Both Bills are 12 Euros.

In December the template should generate 24.

When I start December I see this:

The 12 Euros ate there from November... But when I generate the template:

It only generates the amount to fill 24...

I would expect the budget to be 24 (both bills) and the total be 36 (Both bills plus the October one)

@youngcw - could you have a look at this please? I'm not sure on the inner workings of schedule based templates

My first instinct is that the 12 that was rolled over was marked against the "full" template, which is now fully funded. Another 12 is then added for the normal regular one, "using up" the rolled over amount from the previous month.

If that's the case it could be a bug! if needed I can fill a bug issue, since this is marked as "Feature" and its closed
