When entering an expense report the Trip distance rounds up instead of maintaining 2 decimals. Why is this occurring?
For example when entering an expense line for mileage, prior to selecting the Calculate button in the Details form the following information is seen:
Expense Type: Mileage
*Start Date: DD/MM/YYYY
Number of Days: 1
*Trip Distance: 12.78 :Miles
*Vehicle Category: Company
Distance Rate: 0.241402
Reimbursable Amount: 3.14 GBP
NOTE: 12.78 miles x 0.241402 rate per mile = 3.08511756 which rounds to 3.09, not 3.14. Note that this is prior to selecting Calculate Amount so it is an estimated value only.
Next the user selects the Calculate Amount button and sees the following:
Expense Type: Mileage
*Start Date: DD/MM/YYYY
Number of Days: 1
*Trip Distance: 12.8 :Miles
*Vehicle Category: Company
Distance Rate: 0.241402
Reimbursable Amount: 3.09 GBP
Now the rate is correct. The mileage has rounded from two decimals to one. The form correctly shows 12.8 miles instead of 12.78 as it has rounded to one decimal place. The rate is therefore correctly calculate as 12.8 x 0.241402 = 3.0899456 (3.09)
