QuickBooks has handled it nicely.
Unfortunately, gnucash business features (like invoicing) only work 
accrual basis. It would be nice if there were an option for those of us

The work around is ugly and requires additional data entry << keeping a 
second set of "virtual" books to produce the invoices and record their 
being paid, etc. (and at that time entering transaction in the "real" 
cash basis books) >> But that is what I do for the non-profits for which 
I need to produce invoice statements.

Cash Basis Reports

The only time it matters for me is for my taxes. I need a balance sheet for
a cash business, as well as a P that omits A/R and A/P from any
consideration of profits or loss to comply with the US Tax code's
definition for such things for businesses that are on a cash basis.
