Hi Alpha
Based on the facts above, the percent complete is 19% (rounding to the nearest whole number), and I would expect the total cost expensed to be $187,290 * 19% = $35,585. I don't know why you get $36,820. Try running the Recognize Revenue and Expense function again for that job and see if that does the trick.
If it doesn't, check to make sure that the Total Estimates are $187,290. You used the words Total budget, but that isn't the Adagio terminology, so I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. (Project value is also not the Adagio terminology, I assume you mean Revised Contract Price, but you are not asking about recognized revenue, so that doesn't really matter).
