Project Expenses get Double-Posted

Hey all, I wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue and if you have found a solution that is less painful than the workaround that Oracle has provided to us through our SR.

Scenario:

User submits a project-based-expense. Their default expense account prepopulates the Account field. The user fills out the project-related information. The user submits the expense.

Problem:

After the expense has gone through the approval process, the expense hits both the default expense account as well as the project budget, essentially getting double-posted.

Doc ID 2115725.1 states that there is not currently a way to default the distribution account/default expense account based on project data.
