Employee Stock Option Exercise - Commissions

When I use the wizard for entering stock option exercises and same day sale, it adds the commission to the "purchase" transaction instead of the "sale" transaction. This makes no sense as the commission is associated with the sale not the purchase and you end up with the same net gain at the end of the day but when the transactions download from the brokerage they don't match as the brokerage appropriately deducts the commission from the sales proceeds. Is there any way to fix this?
