Feature Request: Support for Future Transactions (Installments)

[leocostaba]

Description:

In Brazil, it is common for purchases to be divided into multiple installments (e.g., 12 months). These expenses are already confirmed for the upcoming months, so it would be very useful if Maybe Finance could automatically register them in the transaction list, allowing users to visualize their future commitments.

Also request at: #768

Current Behavior:

Currently, if we track an installment purchase, only the initial transaction is possible to be imported, and future payments receives a import error. This makes financial planning more difficult, as users cannot easily see upcoming expenses that are already confirmed.

Proposed Solution:

• Allow to register Transactions to a future payments in the transaction list.
• Provide a way to visualize these future transactions in reports or planning views.

This feature would improve financial forecasting and align Maybe Finance better with common spending habits in Brazil and other regions with similar practices.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this! 🚀

Hey @leocostaba, thanks for the detailed thoughts on this! This is definitely something we'll be looking into in the future per our roadmap:

We're not quite ready for this though as I've explained here in this discussion about forecasting / future transactions, so I'm going to move this over to "Feature Requests" in discussions for now.
