Decimal Difference Observed in Trade In-Transit Accounting Due to Rounding and in other event also.

Hi Team,

We are observing a small accounting variance in Trade In-Transit transactions caused due to rounding differences at transaction level versus total receipt level.

Below is the sample scenario:

Item Number

Cost

ABCDE

12.98071

Trade In-Transit Issue Transactions

Qty

Cost * Qty

Amount (Rounded)

12

155.76852

155.77

7

90.86497

90.86

9

116.82639

116.83

34

441.34414

441.34

20

259.61420

259.61

Total = 82

1064.41

Trade In-Transit Receipt Transaction

Qty

Calculated Amount

Amount (Rounded)

82

1064.41822

1064.42

Observation

The total of individual rounded issue transactions is:

  • 1064.41

Whereas the receipt transaction rounded at total level is:

  • 1064.42

Hence, a 0.01 variance is generated.

Clarification Required

We would like to understand:

  1. Whether this behavior is standard Oracle Costing functionality due to transaction-level rounding.
  2. Is there any Oracle-recommended approach to avoid or minimize such decimal variances in Trade In-Transit accounting?

Howdy, Stranger!
