Purchase Orders show different rates when created using different methods

When I create a Purchase Order using Vendors -> Create Purchase Orders the item cost/rate is different than if I create a Purchase order from an Estimate or Sales Order.

 

For example the item in question has a cost of $21 USD (CAD is home currency) and has the preferred vendor set to a USD Vendor. When I create a PO from the estimate for the product the rate auto populates as $21 USD. However if I create a PO from Vendors -> Create Purchase Orders the rate comes in as $21 CAD therefor ~$16.65 USD.

 

The fact that the same product comes in with two different costs/rates seems odd to me. Is this a bug?

After talking to QuickBooks chat this appears to be by design.
