The purpose of the Business Features is for accruals in order to adhere
to the "Matching Principle" of accounting.
If you go to the local convenience store every afternoon and buy a candy
bar, you'd just record that as a regular transaction. (and benefit from
using Duplicate Transaction or otherwise taking advantage of AutoFill)
You might even use a Scheduled Transaction for something you are pretty
sure you are going to regularly need to enter.
It would be a rare and odd case indeed to be billed 'on account' by a
vendor on a very short time frame (less than one month or weekly) for
each, or nearly each, individual line item.

Adrien

Hello Greg,
I encountered this exact same problem.
The way bills are entered just does not scale for someone doing more
than home entry, or doing it because they love it. 50 mouse clicks to
record buying a Mars bar just isn't viable if you have more than a Mars
bar a week.
I have a small program that takes downloaded transactions from the bank,
munges the descriptions so the qif importer recognises the accounts and
also adds gst. Saves hours and hours a month.
