I sometimes need to add the resource usage for a specific task i.e. 7,5% (3 hours of work in a 40 h week). MS Project rounds up the number to 8%. It also modifies the resource cost...
Anyone knows how to tackle this? (always using fixed units, not open to other approaches) Saving Changes...
Not sure if this is the exact issue you are having, but you can check the link below. Could it work if you tried decimals instead of percentages? (Set this in File- Options)

Thanks, Samuel. I have checked the link and unfortunately it does not provide the solution I am looking for.
If a given resource plans to work 11 hours on a specific task over a 40 h working week, this is 27,5% of the time. MS Project does not allow, by using fixed units approach, allocate this precise number (27,5%) and instead, rounds it up to 28%. If decimals are used (base 1), 0.275 gets automatically rounded up to 0,28. This has an impact on the project budget (around 1% higher than if 3 decimals precision could be used). Saving Changes...
If this resource is only available 11 hours per week, assuming the resource will work the same amount of hours each day, create a custom calendar for the individual and set the working times so that they reflect the amount of hours the resource can work each day. 0.275% of an 8 hours day is 2.2 hours. Set the working time from 8am to 10:12am. By doing this, 100% of the resource's time is 11 hours per week and you don't have to mess with percentages. As long as you are not using Project to schedule the actual times when people will work (for your sake, I hope you're not), and I understand your use case correctly, this should meet your needs.
