Yes everything in my books is expected to be in CAD. The issue was despite choosing CAD as the currency during the book's setup, when I create a new vendor, it was setting the vendor's default currency to USD. This wasn't obvious at first since the currency info is on a separate "Payment Information" tab of the "New Vendor" dialog. Added a screenshot to show this. My books are for CAD but the new vendor is selecting USD by default and if this is not corrected, it prevents posting the bills from said vendor.
Hoping this demonstrates the issue. I am no longer blocked since I discovered that the currency needed to be fixed with each new vendor I create. I am suspecting on possible issue could be that the locale on my system is US but I am working on books for Canada. Which is why I feel despite me setting the default currency as USD the Vendor flow is not respecting the choice and probably defaulting to the system locale. This is just a hunch.
