You can choose how to handle non-processing days. If the schedule occurs on a non-processing day you can choose whether to Do not change the date, Change the date to the previous processing day, or Change the date to the next processing day. This option is available to replicate some of the real world banking operational processing. Non-processing days include weekends and holidays known to KMyMoney for the region specified in the appropriate configuration option.

You can also select whether or not the amount is an estimate so you'll be prompted to update the amount when the schedule is due. Selecting the process at the last day of the month allows for scheduling for irregular month-end date processing.

Otherwise, when the transaction is due to be entered, KMyMoney will open a dialog box asking you to confirm that you want it to be entered. This behavior is configurable, and more information can be found in the Settings section.

If you know how many transactions are left or when they are due to finish, this information can be entered so the transactions are not entered indefinitely. Checking the schedule will end box and enter either the number of transactions remaining or date of final transaction will end the scheduled transaction based on this criteria.
