No and that is by design. The transactions are generated by the business
logic. If you want to change the transactions you will have to unpost
the associated bill/invoice first. This is done so to avoid
inconsistencies and accidental changes.
Note that in 2.6 when you unpost a bill the link with the payment will
be lost. You can restore after reposting the bill by selecting the
payment transaction and then use "Assign as payment".
