[GNC] automatically account for gst on random purchases

[flywire]

Yet surely it is reasonable for the automated GST functionality for accrual
accounting to apply to cash accounting. Even USA GST has rules, so it could
be automated.

using Odoo?

I have tried many packages but not Odoo. Manual data entry is the most
time-consuming task so I give accounting package right of veto to
the person doing data entry. Apart from the farm business tracking GST in
Quickbooks all data entry is a semi-automated csv process in GnuCash,
although one set of books uses an 80/20 automated account allocation edited
by someone else after importing.

I switched from KMyMoney to Gnucash with a view to GST support for the
farm, not realising it wasn't automated for cash accounting. Regardless, I
think I can force the farm data into GnuCash and leverage the data.
