The problem appears that our Field Verification is too good...

In the Options under the File Menu, there is a setting called Field Verification that makes sure that when you type in a code (customer, distrubution, GL account, etc), if you mistyped and that code doesn't exist, a warning will appear. It seems that for some reason the field verification is checking for a non-blank Control Account Set, which of course is not necessary for Misc Cash.

If you remove the Field Verification setting from Options, I was able to save a Misc Cash entry with a blank Control Account set, using the newest Receivables 6.8B.

I'm assuming you used Field Verification in a previous release, and didn't have to enter a control account. Should that be the case, this would be something to forward on to the programmers.

I was able to re-create the behaviour you have seen, and agree that the program should allow you to simply enter the bank and offsetting ledger accounts for a Miscellaneous Cash Receipt. We'll try and get this changed the next time we release an update to Receivables. In the interim, all you need to set up is an Account Set for each bank account (Don't forget you can copy account sets to create the ones you need.)

Sorry for the inconvenience.
