FAM question her folks, one vendor bill containing one line for quantity of 3 total $2834.76 for asset proposal. On the asset proposal page, when using the 'split' link, it will does not calculate to equal the same as the invoice.. Example $2834.76 for 3 computers - tried to split into 3 @ $944.92 each, it errors "_The total cost of the subproposal records [2834.76] must be equal to the cost of the original proposal record [2834.76]"_ It shows 2.2737367544323206e-13 as 'remaining cost' .............. Have you seen this before?

Is the period locked? I'd be tempted to add additional lines to the vendor bill and split it there before creating an asset.
What you're probably running into is a floating point math error. If you can edit the Vendor bill directly and split that into lines - then the system doesn't have to do that math.

Thanks Kevin, I could do that manually, but don't you think the system should be able to solve that? I guess if this is bug to be reported or if there is a setting somewhere to avoid that formula error.

It's all about how you choose to spend your time - sure - this is an error that can be fixed, and maybe it should. That said - is it worth 2+ hours of your time fighting with support to get a u7 defect filed when there's a work around?

yes, I guess it all comes down to that, except when there is a big volume and client is expecting the system to work and not get stuck on a formula math issue.
but for now, I guess manual splitting is the way to go..
Thanks again

Well, you can file the ticket for sure, but only NS are the ones who can fix it.
