We want to be able to pay multiple currencies out of a single bank account.  For example, a bank account in Canada, paying bills in both CAD and USD.  I've tried enabling the multi-currency options in the Electronic Bank Payments bundle, but I can't get the non-CAD bills to show on the Bill Payment Processing screen.  What's the trick here?

Figured out the answer. Turns out that the "Bank Details" record must reference a G/L cash account where that account's currency matches the base currency of the subsidiary. If they mismatch, it won't work.  SuiteAnswers 100135, step 2(d).  _Follow-up question: does anyone know the reasoning for *why* the Electronic Bank Payments bundle works this way?_

I think the file format needs to be multi currency enabled

A vendor payment with a foreign currency can only be created on a bank account with the base currency or a bank account with a matching foreign currency. Limitation of Netsuite.
I.e. in a CAD company, you can only create USD payments towards a CAD or USD bank account. Not EUR bank account.
