Welcome to the Community, @jhardyman.
You're seeing a duplicated transaction because QuickBooks uses double-entry accounting. Where every transaction records in at least two accounts, one as a debit and the other as a credit. Debits and credits affect different types of accounts differently.
I have tried replicating on my end and the bill will be paid in total. That's why the total will show on the report. If you want the payment to show separately you can create a separate bill.
To create a bill here' how:
- Go to Vendor then Enter Bill.
- On the Vendor dropdown select your vendor's name.
- Enter the item and amount for the bill.
- Click Save and New once done.
You can also customize reports in QuickBooks desktop.
Feel free to comment on this thread if you have additional questions. Take care and keep safe.
