Hi,
The facilities you are requesting are likely to require an inventory
management system. At present Gnucash is an accounting package and currently
does not incorporate any features for inventory management. As far as i know
there are no plans to incorporate such features in the near future. To do so
would reuire a developer(s) interested in developing these features.
Similarly while it can handle the accounting specific side of payroll
management it does not handle the calculation of payrolls, deductions, taxes
etc. You may need to took at ERP software if you require these facilities.

I am going to point something out. Gnucash is an accounting package. A
business might need a number of OTHER packages that would interact with
the accounting package, but normally are separate parts. Why separate?
Because which of these other parts a business might want/need depend on
the business. A unified business application (including ALL the
different possible pieces) would be unnecessarily bulky, with a given
business never using many of those pieces.
inventory -- only if the business HAS inventory that it sells
payroll ------ only if the business has employees (employees in the
legal sense of that word)
billed time -- only of a business deals in "billable hours"
POS --- only if a business does this kind of retail << point of sales
not only interacts with accounting but also inventory >>
etc. etc. etc.
Since I do accounting just for non-profits, I am aware of OTHER "pieces"
that would apply to this specialty. Just because I may be using gnucash
to provide these pieces does NOT mean "part of gnucash" << I am simply
ALSO using gnucash to implement "virtual books" for those specific
pieces >>
