Certainly that is possible now. You can export transactions from a POS and import them to Gnucash. This can either be done on a per-sale basis or as a daily aggregate.
Since it is possible to import invoices, the OP could do so as step one, and then record the payments as before as step 2. The importing step would just save clicks within Gnucash. It would be nice though to be able to choose a customer/vendor on the Payor/Payee line and be able to have that manual transaction show up in a customer/vendor report.
