# Edit or skip a scheduled transaction

> Change a schedule's pattern, enter or skip a single occurrence, or stop a schedule you no longer need.

Once a schedule is running, you manage it from the **Scheduled** page. Schedules
are grouped into **Upcoming** (due within 30 days), **Active**, and **Completed**.
Each scheduled transaction also feeds the
[Forecast report](/reports/forecast-and-debt), so changes here ripple into your
projected cash flow.

## Edit the pattern

Click a schedule to open it, then change the account, payee, amount, category,
cadence, or any [advanced option](/scheduled/create-a-schedule#advanced-options).
Save. If you change the timing, the next due date recalculates from your edit.

## Enter or skip one occurrence

Manual schedules wait for you to handle each due date. On an upcoming manual
schedule you have two single-occurrence actions:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter">
    Choose **Enter** to post this occurrence now. It creates the real transaction
    on the account, and the schedule advances to its next due date.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Skip">
    Choose **Skip** to pass on this occurrence without creating a transaction. The
    schedule jumps straight to its next due date.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Enter and Skip apply to **manual** schedules. Automatic schedules post on their
  own, so they don't show these actions — to stop one, edit it or delete it.
</Note>

## Stop a schedule

To end a recurring schedule, you have a few options depending on what you want:

* **Edit** the schedule and set an **end date** or a **stop after N occurrences**
  limit so it winds down on its own.
* **Delete** the schedule to remove it entirely. Deleting a schedule does not
  remove transactions it already created.

A schedule that has reached its end date or occurrence limit moves to the
**Completed** group.

## How this shows in Forecast

The Forecast report projects your balances forward using your active schedules.
Skipping an occurrence, editing an amount, or ending a schedule all change what
Forecast expects — so keep your schedules current if you rely on the projection.

## If something looks wrong

* A schedule posted twice → check whether you also entered it manually after it
  auto-posted; delete the duplicate transaction.
* Forecast looks off → review your active schedules' amounts and cadences. See
  [Forecast and debt](/reports/forecast-and-debt).
