Importing Customers and Vendors

GnuCash version: 2.6.3
Scenario:
1. Default currency for accounts is CAD.
2. Import customers per
http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-guide/import-customers-vendors.html
3. Create an invoice for a customer that was imported.  Posting the invoice
fails, because Post to Account is blank even though an A/R account (with
type A/R) exists.
4. Update customer to specify currency of CAD.
5. Posting the invoice fails with following cryptic message: “One or more of
the entries are for accounts different from the invoice/bill currency. You
will be asked a conversion rate for each.”
6. In Preferences uncheck “Compress files” option.  Exit GnuCash.
7. Edit XML file to set currency for invoice to CAD.
8. Launch GnuCash and finish posting invoice.

Questions:
1. Why does the Customer and Vendor import feature not deal with Billing
Information?
2. Why does the import aforementioned documentation not inform users to
update the Billing Information for customers and vendors after they have
been imported?

Regards,
Peter
