Purchase order transaction journal

I am running inventory purchases through the Purchase Order module. How do I prevent a transaction journal from posting when I save the purchase order? It's my understanding the first accounting transaction posted should be during Item Receipt. Otherwise, the inventory is posted twice. See transaction journals below.

 

Purchase Order

CR - Purchase Order (non-posting account)

DR - Inventory (this is the problem entry)

 

Item Receipt

CR - Inventory Offset (liability)

DR - Inventory (now double posted)

 

Thank you,
