Solution

Discrepancy between the total on the accounting tab and the purchase order

A purchase order includes the total of what is believed to be owed for the items ordered. The receipt sent by the vendor and captured in the accounting tab is the actual amount owing. This could be higher or lower based on the quantities actually shipped and differences in tax rates. It is not unusual for a PO and a receipt to differ in totals. Use the receipt as the amount due.
