Issue/Introduction

On MUX, when Unit of Measure is set to %Availability, on the Staffing Workspace under the Allocation by Investment tab, the Allocation summed total is incorrectly displayed, if a multi-geography Calendar is being used.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Standard Calendar setup: Create a calendar having 7 hours and mark it as Standard. Name this calendar as Base - United Kingdom. Setup some non-working days for Dec 2023 & Jan 2024
2. Create a calendar having 8 hours and name it Base - India. Setup some non-working days for Dec 2023 & Jan 2024
3. Create two labor resources and associate the above calendars to them respectively. For example:
   1. India_user, calendar: Base - India -> 8 hrs
   2. UK_user, calendar: Base - United Kingdom -> 7 hrs
4. Create Fiscal monthly Periods
5. On MUX create a test project and staff the above-created Resources with multi geography calendar. The allocation period should be from 25th Dec 2023 - 21st Jan 2024, for each resource.
6. From the Settings menu set the Unit of Measure to %Availability.
7. Note the Allocation Totals is 200
8. Navigate to Staffing workspace and access the tabs: Staff , Allocation by Resource. Ensure that the Unit of Measure is set to %Availability
9. Note: The allocation totals are correctly shown on these tabs
10. Navigate to the Allocation by Investment tab of the Staffing Workspace

Expected Results : The allocation summed total, for the resources on the Allocation by Investment tab should match with the Staff , Allocation by Resource tabs and with the Project Staff tab

Actual Results : The summed allocation total is incorrectly shown on the Allocation by Investment tab:

The total is being shown as 220.63, instead of 200, when the unit of measure is set to %Availability
