Why is the direct impact in the results different than what I input in Activities?
I have a Commodity Change Activity with about 330 different items in it. When I add up all of the direct inputs I get one figure, but when I run the Scenario, the results show a different number for the Direct Impact (I guess technically the first round of Indirect Impact, but who's counting). All of the items are using a 100% Local Purchase Coefficient, and the event year is the same as in the scenario results. The differences are spread around virtually all of the commodities, so it's not just one or two that are giving me trouble. What's going on?

Doing some searching, I figured out why the individual direct inputs by industry might be different from their commodity values. This is because some industries produce multiple commodities and the commodity amount could be spread across multiple industries. However, I would think that the total direct impact should be the same. Thanks!
