What happened?

If you create a scheduled repeating transaction, and set it to to repeat on the last day of the month, and set it to move schedule before weekend, you can't skip the next occurrence of the scheduled transaction.

I noticed this today when reconciling, and saw that I'd made the payment on 11/12, while the scheduled transaction for 11/28 had been posted yesterday. I deleted that transaction, which made the scheduled transaction reappear, and I was unable to skip it.

So, without using workarounds, you can't skip a transaction of this kind if you've posted/paid it outside the +- two day window, or if the transaction was skipped in real life for some reason.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Create schedule and try to skip the next occurrence

  • Create a new schedule with a name, payee, account, and amount.
  • In the date picker:
    • From: 11/28/2025 (indefinitely)
    • Repeat every: 1 Months
  • Tick the box for Move schedule, and set it to before weekend.
  • Click Apply.
  • Click Add.
  • Go to the account.
  • Right click the transaction and choose Skip next scheduled date.
  • Nothing happens.

Post transaction early and try to skip the next occurrence

  • Right click the scheduled transaction and choose Post transaction.
  • Change the date to 11/25/2025.
  • The scheduled transaction reappears, and right click > Skip next scheduled date does not do anything.

Also have this issue. Recurring schedule that pays on last day of month, before weekend. Nothing happens if I press skip next.

@SalocinHB @aedelor I believe that the developers prioritize bugs the same way as features - by using the amount of thumbs up (👍) on the first post. While commenting might get some attention, adding a thumbs up will probably bring this higher up in the list faster.

Thanks for the advice, I did so!

I also think it's any schedule that is "move before weekend," not just ones that fall at end of month.

Great @aedelor, and you're right, it does happen even if you skip the step about last day of the month. I've updated the title and steps to reproduce.

I have the same issue and couldn't figure out why it affected some but not others. THanks to your initial report it's now clear to me as well. Please fix this asap. Thanks!

Hey all!

So I've put up a fix this for this. If others wanted to test it, that would be great. I believe it just fixes the issue with out impacting other schedules behaviour.

To test you can use the deploy preview link in this comment: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/7057#issuecomment-3942549607
