Description Pete 2013-06-13 02:25:33 UTC

Common payroll practice in USA is 26 pay periods in a calendar year, once every two weeks.  Can not enter a scheduled transaction on this basis.  Only options for schedule frequency are one, day, week, half month, month, year.  Really need a bi-weekly or fortnight option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on scheduled transactions
2.click on new
3.click on frequency.  No option for bi-weekly or fortnight
Actual Results:  
cannot schedule paycheck deposit.  need to enter it each time.

Expected Results:  
expected an option for 1 time every two weeks, or bi weekly, or fortnight.  no such option

Can't you choose "week" in the dropdown, and 2 in the frequency box?  That's every 2 weeks, not 2 times a week, in case it's not obvious. Separate question - do you think there is a change from previous versions in how this is handled?

Comment 2 Pete 2013-06-13 02:37:23 UTC

Choosing 2 and week would logically result in twice a week entries.  I'll try it and see if it does in deed result in every 2 weeks.

Comment 3 Pete 2013-06-13 02:41:49 UTC

Ok I tried entering 2 and week.  it lists the frequency as "Every Other Week", so what we have is just the ubiquitous "failure to communicate," not a real bug.

Perhaps you could close the bug then?

Sorry, I am new at this, did not realized I could close the report.  I will mark it resolved, and invalid, because the issue is resolved, and was not a programming issue, but one of English language semantics.   Thanks to all for assistance.
