I understand this to be a request for Hybrid Accounting, basically a
combination of Cash Accounting and Accrual Accounting. (Rental Income being
the other side of the ledger tracking unpaid Invoices - Accounts
Receivable).

A bill you receive is a liability. From
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_accts.html#accts-types1

> GnuCash offers three liability account types:
> 1. Credit Card...
> 2. Accounts Payable (A/Payable) This is typically a business use only
> account in which you place bills you have yet to pay. Transactions
> involving an Accounts Payable account should not be added, changed or
> deleted in any way other than by using:
> * post/unpost bill/invoice/voucher or
> * process payment
> 3. Liability...


Liability account reporting appears much more limited than GnuCash Business
Features Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable reporting (which I don't
have any experience with). What processes would need to occur to allow A/P
and A/R reports to be co opted from Business Features to work with direct
entry into these accounts? (Note I'm specifically referring to the
processes affecting the data, not the Business Features forms doing those
processes.)
