How to track your upcoming expenses

I am wondering about the possibility of tracking the expenses that are yet to happen and I do not know their exact dates. For example, I visited a doctor and from my insurance know how much I have to pay for that visit, but the bill from the provider is yet to come. At this point my checking account is showing the money that I have already spent.

Another possibility is planning for the expense that has not occurred yet, for example planning to buy some thing in near future.

Is there any way of tracking these kind of expenses.

Thanks

You can enter them in your account register with the expected future date but without "Print" or "Send" so no check will be issued. You can refine the entry when you learn exact dates and amount.

I do this with rebates. I put a transaction in at the last date according to the rebate coupon. "Allow 6 to 8 weeks for rebate" is what it says so I put in a deposit 8 weeks hence. If the check appears, I update the date and make it a real deposit.

Well if I'm reading your post correctly I think what you want to do is just make a scheduled transaction.

I know that for my doctor visits I get the bill 9 days later on average so I just schedule a bill for that date, then enter the online check info when I see the actual bill(with the invoice number and such).
