We needed to purchase some items from a vendor that required us to send them a purchase order. I followed these instructions for creating the purchase order: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/purchase-orders/create-send-purchase-...

I am now at Step 3 and have followed the directions to add the purchase order to the bill we just received from the vendor: I linked the Purchase Order to the Bill, and the Item Details show all the items from the purchase order and the total. According to the directions, I should be done. However, for our budgeting purposes, I need to assign a category using our chart of accounts. When I add this information in Category Details, my total doubles. How do I avoid this, and still assign an account?
