SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central: Job Information

Whenever FTE is calculated based on function or system calculated, the rounding is sometimes rounded up and sometimes rounded down as shown in some examples below:

Values passed	FTE calculated	Actual result from division	Rounded towards
25/40	0.62	0.625	down
27/40	0.68	0.675	up
45/40	1.12	1.125	down
35/40	0.88	0.875	up

• Our engineering team confirm that this is expected calculation. The system uses a rounding method called "Half-even", sometimes also called "Bankers Rounding". This is one of the reason that why sometimes system rounds up and down sometimes.
  This is working as per system design. We found a link: https://wiki.c2.com/?BankersRounding but could be searched online for how it is.
• If you do not wish to have a "half-even" rounding, On the configured OnChange rule for FTE calculation, you can add Round() function to the rule for calculating FTE to desired decimal places (example rounding with precision 2 and threshold 0.005).
