Just pointing out again, but accounting (and gnucash) not a "real tine" 
activity. The CORRECT date to use for entering payment of a bill is when 
you made legal payment of it. Not when you got around to entering the 
transaction. The "current date" (date at the time you entered the 
transaction isn't relevant to anything, or should not be.

If this seems to be persnickety, image that there are discounts for on 
time payments or late fees for late payments.
