It doesn't matter when the transaction clears your bank account. It
doesn't matter when you download the transaction. All that matters is
that you Enter the scheduled transaction in your Quicken account register
before you Accept the downloaded transaction.
To make it even easier, give yourself a few more days warning time to
Enter the scheduled transaction.
[Quicken has the facility to match downloaded transactions to scheduled
transactions that are not yet in a Quicken account register ... but it
doesn't always work ... and you won't know it didn't work until after the
downloaded transaction has been accepted.]

You can Manually Match a downloaded transaction to multiple register
transactions. The only problem with that would be if the three register
transactions were for different payees; the resulting split transaction
would have the payee names in the memo fields in the split lines ...
messing up reporting by payee.
