For transaction import the csv justs needs:
date, description, debit, credit, columns as a minimum, but all
the register columns can be present. The file can use any column
delimiter, not just commas. The importer can select any column in any
order. 

There is an invoice importer/creator and the instructions for use can
be found at:
http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/guide/python-import-invoices.html
It's not as flexible as the csv importer I'm afraid.
