Hi,

I think it is mostly a philosophy thing.  When the GC business module was 
created (signficantly later than GC was started), the author (not me) designed 
something to keep track of Accounts Receivable (and Payable), where the 
document and money flow usually happen some time apart - this is called 
accrual accounting by the accountants.

An "over the counter" cash sale is clearly never an A/R, which is why the 
create an invoice - post an invoice - process payment workflow is somewhat 
cumbersome for cash transactions, IMHO.

HTH,
Maf.
