Neither -- this is how it's designed to work.  The invoice/bill system
does not copy the specific line-items into the CoA.  If you want to
track a specific item (ala inventory) then you should create an
account specific to that widget and use that instead of a general
catch-all account.  (Gnucash doesn't support inventory, so that's the
best you can do at the moment).
