Overlapping Software: De-Duplication of Spend for SaaS Software

I've been looking into the Overlapping Usage reports in the Software Asset Workspace, and I've run into a problem with SaaS software. The report picks up SaaS spend from the Entitlements loaded, but I also need to load Spend transactions for the report to identify non-SaaS spend. However, if I load a Spend Transaction for SaaS software (as might occur if my organisation were to pipe all the transactions from our AP system, which would be needed to take advantage of the shadow IT detection functionality), I end up with two entries for every SaaS product, one under SaaS for the value derived from the Entitlements and one under Spend for the value from the Spend Transactions.

 

Is there a way to match the SaaS spend to Spend Transactions so that this duplication doesn't occur, or do I have to simply remove any SaaS spend entries from the Spend Transactions as they are identified?
