How do I account for PST that was paid on PST exempt items?

I am a home builder and am PST exempt for building supplies (since we collect it on the final sale price of the home). When I buy (for example) a sink from Amazon and they charge me PST - where do I put this so it shows up as a credit when I'm filing my PST return. 

My accountant told me I should enter it on a separate line in my credit card charge and I had used the PST payable account. But when I run the "file sales tax" for the PST return it says my "PST return is NOT ready to file" and these amounts just end up showing up in an Unassigned Sales Tax amounts line and not credited against what I owe. Help!
