Hello everyone,

I've noticed some unusual behavior in the system regarding the calculation of the difference between the invoice price and the standard cost when I enter a purchase invoice linked to a subcontracting purchase order:

  • I am creating a purchase order for subcontracting
  • The configuration of the item to be received is as follows
  • The cost of the item to be received is as follows
  • The purchase price is therefore different from the standard cost
  • I receive my order, and the following journal entries are generated
  • When entering the invoice, the difference between the standard cost and the purchase price yields a result that does not match the transaction: 6784.81 - 1366.58 = 5418.23.
  • Is this normal? What does this difference of 0.0100 represent?
  • And yet, in a non-subcontracting transaction, the calculation is correct. It’s only with subcontracting purchase transactions that the calculation yields an odd amount.
