While I have no comment on how to get the Advanced Portfolio Report to categorize your fees as such, I will note that when you sell a commodity—regardless of the reason for which you sell it—you will have (in most cases) a capital gain element. The gain is there, even if you immediately turn the proceeds over to another entity. So, it seems to me you should enter a sell transaction, complete with gains information, and then enter a transfer to brokerage fees as a separate transaction. I don’t know how the report handles this.
