The page total amount is not correct on discoverer plus 10.1.1.48.18

Question

on my discoverer report, there is sunnary field based on a column.
for example, I have a salesrep expense discoverer report.
the salesrep name is the page item, each page has one salesrep, under the page item there are many line which show the expense detail amount, there is a column called expense, under the expense column there is a total amount summary field to sum the expense for this salesrep.
Sometimes, the total amount is not the sum of the expense column, sometimes the total amount show negative zero as: -0.00. What I thought this maybe a number round issue.
Does anybody has similar issue? how to fix this ?
Thanks

Answer 1

I actually used toad to run the query and exported to EXCEL then sum it in excel, I got the correct total amount.
the following is the SQL query, we use the total feature to sum the commission:
select
pt.payee_salesrep_id,
sr.name||','||sr.attribute9 salesrep_name,
sr.attribute15 employee_number,
pt.payrun_id,
pr.name payrun_name,
decode(pt.incentive_type_code,'COMMISSION',2,'PMTPLN',4,'PMTPLN_REC',1,'MANUAL_PAY_ADJ',2) Sort,
decode(pt.incentive_type_code, 'PMTPLN','To be Applied in Future','PMTPLN_REC','Previous Payments Affecting Commissions',q.description) Variable,
sum(decode(pt.incentive_type_code,
'COMMISSION',decode(q.attribute3,'ARR 12-36',apps.sg_oic_reports.get_multiple(q.name,to_number(ch.attribute16)),1) sign(pt.payment_amount) abs(pt.input_achieved) ,
pt.payment_amount)
) Revenue,
sum(pt.payment_amount) commission
from apps.cn_payment_transactions pt,
apps.cn_commission_headers ch,
apps.jtf_rs_salesreps sr,
apps.cn_quotas q,
apps.cn_payruns pr
WHERE pt.quota_id = q.quota_id
and ch.commission_header_id(+) = pt.commission_header_id
and pt.payee_salesrep_id = sr.salesrep_id
and pt.payrun_id = pr.payrun_id
and hold_flag <> 'Y'
and pr.accounting_period_id>2005012
and pt.payment_amount<>0
group by
pt.payee_salesrep_id,
sr.name||','||sr.attribute9,
sr.attribute15,
pt.payrun_id,
pr.name,
pt.incentive_type_code,
decode(pt.incentive_type_code,'COMMISSION',2,'PMTPLN',4,'PMTPLN_REC',1,'MANUAL_PAY_ADJ',2) ,
decode(pt.incentive_type_code, 'PMTPLN','To be Applied in Future','PMTPLN_REC','Previous Payments Affecting Commissions',q.description)
having sum(pt.payment_amount) <>0
