For companies that pay invoices with credit card sometimes and check others, this functionality would enable the company to post and record an invoice as a liability. Then later decided to pay the invoice with a credit card. Especially if an invoice is incurred one month, paid by credit card the next, and then the credit card is paid off in a 3rd month.

Right now invoices have to be either paid by check or CC

1. Enter invoice; debit expense credit a/p

2. Pay invoice; debit a/p credit cash

OR

Invoices paid by CC

1. Enter invoice; debit expense credit CC liability

2. Pay CC; debit CC liability credit cash

New process would add a step

1. Enter invoice; debit expense credit a/p

2. Pay invoice WITH CREDIT CARD; debit a/p credit CC liability

3. Pay credit card statement; debit CC liability credit cash

The assumption is that after each bullet you could post the transaction and close the month if needed.
