I am going to point something out. Gnucash is an accounting package. A 
business might need a number of OTHER packages that would interact with 
the accounting package, but normally are separate parts. Why separate? 
Because which of these other parts a business might want/need depend on 
the business. A unified business application (including ALL the 
different possible pieces) would be unnecessarily bulky, with a given 
business never using many of those pieces.

inventory -- only if the business HAS inventory that it sells
payroll ------ only if the business has employees (employees in the 
legal sense of that word)
billed time -- only of a business deals in "billable hours"
POS --- only if a business does this kind of retail << point of sales 
not only interacts with accounting but also inventory >>
etc. etc. etc.

Since I do accounting just for non-profits, I am aware of OTHER "pieces" 
that would apply to this specialty. Just because I may be using gnucash 
to provide these pieces does NOT mean "part of gnucash" << I am simply 
ALSO using gnucash to implement "virtual  books" for those specific 
pieces >>
