SAP Note 17562 - Inaccurate result during formula evaluation

Symptom:

A report displays statistical data that resulted from the average across the period. It seems that formulas that refer to such figures are not calculated correctly. There seem to be deviations of some percent from the correct value.
Key word: ReportWriter

Cause and prerequisites

When the Report Writer averages statistical data across periods, the exact result with the places behind the decimal points is used internally. When printing, however, the amount is rounded up/down according to the assigned quantity unit.
Example: the statistical key figure 'Employee' is averaged across periods but is always printed with zero places behind the decimal point. Internally, the Report Writer uses the exact value for the calculation of formulas. Therefore, there can be a discrepancy between the formula result from the printed figures and the exact figures used internally.

Solution
Allow the values behind the decimal point to be in the printed version of the report. Make sure that the maximum number of decimal places for each quantity unit is defined in quantity unit customizing. If required, change the number of decimal places to be printed for the relevant units.
