Chart of Account Numbers Showing When Selecting Categories on a Single Expense

when coding an expense from an Report, the pull-down window of categories does not display Chart of Account #s even though they are turned on in Categories and display in Categories under that Policy. how do I get the account #s to show up in the pull down window as we code by department and there can be multiple names of the same account but sub accounts of a specific department.
