Budget: Billing Role Cost Rate is not exact (2014)

Symptoms

When copying task assignments from a project into a budget, the data in the budget in the field 'billing role cost rate' for the overall budget service is not exact. E.g. for one resource with a rate of 50 Euro/hour it shows 50.0001. The rate is however correct within each fiscal period and shows exactly 50.0000.

 

Resolution

The field 'billing role cost rate' in the budget should be interpreted as the 'average cost rate'. This cost rate might initially come from the billing role and is applied into each fiscal period.

But then, for the total cost rate, Changepoint calculates 'rate= total cost amount of all FP / total hours of all FP'. At this point, there can be minor rounding issues which cannot be avoided.
