Symptoms

On : 12.1.3 version, WIP Costing

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
Getting wrong calculation for resource overhead.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
expect the calculations:

Resource value: resource qty x resource rate = 5x 20.07 = 100.35
And
Resource overhead to be: 100.35 x 6.33% = 6.3522


STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. work order
2. Operation and resource:
3. Now based on Oracle user guide, when the basis is ‘Resource value’, as above, the ‘Rate or Amount’ is treated as a % number.
4. The value of overhead is not 6.33% but its 6.33 times the resource value.

We have basis defined as 'Resource Value' and in the 'Rate or Amount' field we have value as 6. So overhead should be 6% of the resource value. But we are getting overhead amount to be 6 times the resource value instead of 6%.
