The costs including the
Total Costs in the
SDL TMS Job Quote Report will be shown in
4 decimal places from
SDL TMS 12.4 CU19 and
12.5 CU4 version onwards as there was an enhancement
CRQ-18912 raised to
SDL Engineering team to show costs in 4 decimal places to avoid discrepancy in costs. Previously for instance:
Job Quote Report in TMS had Cost in the report
rounded off because of two decimal places default in the report. This was causing
discrepancies in Total Cost when calculated.
For example:
Minimum Cost defined in Cost model for a language pair: 14
Cost defined in Cost Band for a language pair: 0.085
Job Cost for a language pair: 13.915
Actual/Total cost is 13.915+0.085=14
However, the costs defined in the Job Quote report were rounded off as follows:
Cost defined in Cost Band for a language pair: 0.09
Job Cost for a language pair: 13.92
Actual/Total cost is 13.92+0.09=14.01 increasing the cost by 0.01
To avoid this discrepancy, enhancement
CRQ-18912 was done to include 4 decimal places in the
Job Quote report.

However, please note the UI preference for decimal places should apply only to the UI. There were
no changes made on how costs are shown in
SDL TMS UI. So if the user wants to see cost with 4 decimal places in UI, change the decimal places value in
User preferences. Article
Job Quote Cost Discrepancy in TMS will explain in detail.
