[GNC] Reconcile also opens Interest Payment box?

[David H]

My SX's are all setup with a 60 day lead time so I can keep an eye on my
cash flow for the next couple of months and the CC payments' are created
with a zero amount.  The only reason I use an SX to create the CC txns is
to save manually creating/duplicating the CC payment txn - it saves a
little time :-) When the statement rocks up I reconcile and then update the
amount payable and sometimes the due date if it's off a bit.  So a somewhat
different use case.  This is why I can't use a variable in the SX as it's
created so far in advance that I have no real idea what my spending is
going to be to the end of the statement period.

Cheers David H.
