Since GnuCash does not have the Cash Flow Statement report as an option,
WHAT?
for your immediate purpose you can/should generate one manually, working
from a printout of the Balance Sheet at the beginning and another at the
end of your period, and an Income Statement report for the period. You can
do this by hand or in an Excel or other spreadsheet; I recommend not
messing with changing what is in your GnuCash accounting system to
jerry-rig something about Cash Collections etc., as someone else is
suggesting.
No, the person was NOT asking about "cash flow" but adjusting between
accrual based accounting and cash based accounting. The "cash" in cash
based accounting is not about cash but time. In cash based accounting,
income is recorded when received and expenses when paid for. In accrual
based accounting income is recorded when "earned" and expenses when
"incurred".

PS: There are additional alternatives for gnucash users who need some of
the business features (only with accrual) but whose books are on the
cash basis. The best way will depend on why you need the business
features (what for).
