IJ46783: Maximo incorrectly evaluates Premium Pay Rate when Premium Rate Type is set to MULTIPLIER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Maximo causes incorrect labor transaction cost calculation in
  Actuals Tab of Workorder when valid labor contract exists,
  expressed in other currency than organization's base currency
  and user reports premium pay time of type MULTIPLIER.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Log into Maximo DEMO data
  
  2. Go to Exchange Rates and make sure USD/GBP pair, with
  validity period matching current date/time is defined for
  EAGLENA organization.
  In this scenario here are the details:
  From: USD
  To: GBP
  Exchange rate: 0.5
  Active Date: 1/1/20 12:00 AM
  Expiration Date: 1/1/24 12:00 AM
  
  3. Go to Labor Rate Contracts application and create new
  contract as follows (if not specified - leave field value as per
  default value):
  Contract: DEMO#1
  Company: JOHNS
  NOTE: This changes contract's currency to GBP.
  Rate Schedule Tab - add new row:
  > Craft: ELECT
  > Skill Level: FIRSTCLASS
  > Standard Rate: 80
  
  4. Approve DEMO#1 contract.
  NOTE: This activates the contract expressed in vendor's currency
  (GBP), while organization's base currency is USD.
  
  5. Switch to Associated Labor tab and add new row:
  Labor: HUNTER
  Craft: ELECT
  Skill Level: FIRSTCLASS
  
  6. Save changes
  
  7. Go to Work Order Tracking and find any WO in any status which
  allows reporting actuals (e.g. APPR)
  
  8. Switch to Actuals tab and add new row to Labor table as
  follows (if not specified - leave field value as per default
  value):
  Labor: HUNTER
  Craft: ELECT
  Skill Level: FIRSTCLASS
  Vendor: JOHNS
  Contract: DEMO#1
  Premium Pay Code: OT1
  Premium Pay Hours: 1:00
  
  RESULT:
  Rate field is defaulted to 160 USD - OK
  Premium Rate: 3.0 - FAIL
  Premium Rate Type: MULTIPLIER - OK
  Line Cost: 480 USD (160 * 3.0) - FAIL
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Rate field is defaulted to 160 USD
  NOTE: Time transaction cost is always expressed in
  organization's base currency (USD) but DEMO#1 contract is
  expressed in GBP. Therefore Maximo recalculates rate by using
  GBP/USD exchange rate, so if USD is 0.5 GBP, then labor
  contract's 80 GBP/h is converted to 160 USD/h.
  Premium Rate: 1.5
  Premium Rate Type: MULTIPLIER
  Line Cost: 240 USD (160 * 1.5)
  
  REPORTED IN VERSION:
  Tivoli's process automation engine 7.6.1.3
