Due dates for payables

[Mike Kraft]

Hi,

We find the vendor/bill business tools cumbersome for certain types of 
payables. In these cases, we would like to create the transactions 
between the payable and expense accounts, and between the payable and 
bank accounts, ourselves in the account registers. Unfortunately, the 
'due date' field in the payable register does not appear to be editable 
- for 'invoice' transactions, it defaults to the current date and I 
cannot change it.

Is this intentional (i.e., am I expected to create a vendor and bills 
whether I want to or not)? or a bug? or am I just doing something else 
wrong?

I'm running 2.2.6 on OS X 10.4.11.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
