What you are asking for is not just inventory management, but point of
sale tied to it.
GnuCash doesn't have either of those.
You would need to use proper outside software for those functions. You
should then be able to export the accounting data from that system
into GnuCash for bookkeeping purposes.

A complete business system (for a business involved in selling things)
would have a "point of sales" and "inventory" components and these would
communicate with "general ledger" (what gnucash is) as well s each
other. There might be other components, like "payroll".
A lot of questions here are of the sort "how can I get gnucash to do
....." when this "to do" really would be a function of one of these
other components. Note that one good argument for a modular "complete
business system" is that any given business would only be using some of
the components depending on what sort of business. No employees*, no
"payroll", buying and selling, no "billable hours", providing
professional services, no "POS" or "inventory", etc. Then the
developers of a "business system" can announce things like "ready for
businesses of types X and Y, Z still not complete"
Note that even developers of commercial complete business systems are
often marketing products that handle only certain sorts of business
(have the components needed for that sort but lack components for other
sorts). But ALL business sorts would have a "general ledger" component.
Making gnucash fully ready would be by adding a well defined process for
receiving "feeds" (better than manual import) << AFAIK, "general ledger"
has to receive feeds but does not send to other components. Some of the
other components would both send and receive.
