Allow "early" posting of recurring grant payments
It would be helpful if we could create a payment on a recurring grant at any time rather than having to wait until the payment date. Occasionally we'll have to do a payables run the day before the usual day (so I can have days off once in a while that are independent of payables dates!), so I would like to be able to create a recurring grant payment when I need to without having to change the dates on the recurring grant itself.

It would be valuable for the tech support team to know the difference between a recurring grant - a series of single grants of the same amount to be made at specified intervals - and a single grant with a specified payment schedule. We just wasted 90 minutes on tech support with someone who did not realize we were "barking up the wrong tree" in trying to set up one grant with five recurring annual payments as a recurring grant, or five single grants of a specified amount for a certain maximum number of recurrences. Words matter! It also does not help that users have no control over the payment schedule of recurring grants. It does need to be flexible for countless reasons.
