Thank you Liz for investigating and sharing. I haven't tried anything on the customer side yet. The issue I am noting above is associated with Vendor and Bill. In my case I was able to create a bill but unable to post it until I ensured that the vendor's payment information was explicitly updated to CAD (the fact that the vendor was by default associated with USD wasn't apparent to me at first).
Also mapping my use-case to your PoC - my locale is en-US, not sure what install I have. I created a CAD book and expect all my transactions to be in CAD. The vendor was created by default with USD payment information (not something I was expecting).
