Well, it's a little more complicated than that if you are keeping books on the "cash basis" and gnucash only supports invoices if on "accrual basis". Essentially at year end (or whenever before the usual reports typical of year end are run) you would need to make temporary adjusting transactions. That could be a lot of work or not much work. For example, if only using invoices (and AR and AP) for very limited purposes as in this example, not such a big deal to adjust for a couple of invoices still "open" at the end of the reporting period if there would be at most a couple of them.
