Recurring financial entries with button to confirm #637

Shipped in v1.81.0, alongside #636. Turn on "Book only after confirmation" on a recurring entry, and every booking it generates arrives marked as expected, with a Book button on the row. Confirming opens a small dialog where the amount and the date are both editable, because your reason for asking is that they differ: services rarely debit on the day and to the cent that the series predicts. The decision worth spelling out: an expected booking counts towards no total - not the monthly summary, not the category breakdown, statistics, plan progress, account balances or the dashboard. A confirmation checkmark that left the figures alone would have preserved exactly the discrepancy against your bank statement that you asked to remove. That has a consequence I did not want to hide: money would otherwise seem to vanish between the list and the summary. So what is still outstanding is stated in its own line under the summary cards ("2 expected bookings: -72.99"), and the CSV export keeps expected rows but labels them in a Existing entries are untouched. The setting is per series and off by default. Had it been global, every recurring entry in every household would have dropped out of the totals on update, and everybody's numbers would have changed overnight for a setting they never chose. One thing to be aware of: the sign is kept when you correct the amount. An expected expense stays an expense even if you type the figure without a minus, so a confirmation cannot accidentally turn a debit into income. |
Uh oh!

Similar to #636
When putting in recurring payments, have them manually confirmed when they are truly credited/debited from the account. Not every service invoices the same day and this can create discrepancies. Also, upon confirming please allow the amount to be editable as sometimes rounding differs the amount.
