Presuming we're not doing guid theory
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Getting_Started
includes a GnuCash sensible way of generating a guid.

The reality is that since we only have one user at a time gnc's guid
requirements aren't really demanding and any time based guid will probably
do.
