Wrong returned Values on simple SUM-Aggregation

The expected Result is 149314.2, the returned wrong Result is 149314.203125

What could be the Problem?

This is my Query:
POST sap-lo-po/_search
{
"query": {
"match": {
"EBELN": "4500017596"
}
},
"aggs": {
"Bestellwert": {
"extended_stats": {
"field": "EKPO.NETWR"
}
}
},
"size": 0,
"_source": [
"EBELN.keyword",
"EKPO.NETWR"
]
}

This is what i get:
{
"took": 0,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 1,
"successful": 1,
"skipped": 0,
"failed": 0
},

}
}
}
}

Limits in floating point precision as well as rounding errors are unfortunately a thing. I would generally go for scaled_floats with a scaling factor of 100 here. To make this a little more clear let's look at a minimal example based on your data:

Mapping, sample document, query:

DELETE sap-lo-po

PUT sap-lo-po
{
  "settings": {
    "number_of_shards": 1
  }, 
  "mappings": {
    "_doc": {
      "properties": {
        "EKPO": {
          "properties": {
            "NETWR": {
              "type": "scaled_float",
              "scaling_factor": 100
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

PUT sap-lo-po/_doc/1
{
  "EBELN": "4500017596",
  "EKPO": [
    {
      "NETWR": 149314.2
    }
  ]
}

POST sap-lo-po/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "EBELN": "4500017596"
    }
  },
  "aggs": {
    "Bestellwert": {
      "extended_stats": {
        "field": "EKPO.NETWR"
      }
    }
  },
  "size": 0,
  "_source": [
    "EBELN.keyword",
    "EKPO.NETWR"
  ]
}

Result:

{
  "took" : 40,
  "timed_out" : false,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "successful" : 1,
    "skipped" : 0,
    "failed" : 0
  },
  "hits" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "max_score" : 0.0,
    "hits" : [ ]
  },
  "aggregations" : {
    "Bestellwert" : {
      "count" : 1,
      "min" : 149314.2,
      "max" : 149314.2,
      "avg" : 149314.2,
      "sum" : 149314.2,
      "sum_of_squares" : 2.2294730321640003E10,
      "variance" : 0.0,
      "std_deviation" : 0.0,
      "std_deviation_bounds" : {
        "upper" : 149314.2,
        "lower" : 149314.2
      }
    }
  }
}

This looks better :slight_smile:

Though it won't solve all your problems. I hope it's good enough for money that will always have two digits after the comma, but see elasticsearch/issues/32570 for issues in more edge case situations.
