The business code doesn't handle multiple currencies.  The Customer
Currency (when you select the customer for the invoice) must match
the currency of the A/R and Income accounts.  In your case it sounds
like the three currencies do NOT match, which would result in the
error you see.

Please read the archives for more information, as I've answered
the question quite recently.
