Why does my budgeted cost change every time I recalculate the schedule

I just created a cost loaded schedule and everything look fine. The problem is that everytime and re-run the schedule the budgeted cost changes on me and it driving me crazy. This only happen on a particular resource. P6 always always add or subtract some decimal points to whatever I input.  For example, $350,000 would change to $349,999.78. What is going on?

    ok look at that one

    ok look at that one particualr resource and see how it is different from the others. You can aldo go to the activity directory and click on the resource tab at the botom and then right click in that lower window and add a column for calculate cost from units.

    Thank you. I talked to oracle

    Thank you. I talked to oracle about it. The problem was that P6 can only handle up to 6 decimal points. Anything after that will be truncated when you close the schedule.

    Hey Tom!Check out Reources if

    Hey Tom!

    Check out Reources if the Calculate cost from units is unchecked.

    Best compare these two different resource according to this option.
