Yes.  That's when you made that payment, and as you indicated you want it to stay on your books.  You seem to want both to leave the date alone and to update it.

So, the other way to do this is to completely leave that check alone: Create a new check and use the bank account in the detail area of the check.  This will create what looks like both a deposit and a check in your checking account, for a net 0.00 impact.  Then print the check.
