Difference of cooling capacity between cooling coil total cooling rate + fan and VRF heat pump total cooling rate

I am trying to do a simple simulation to understand the link between all the output in Energy plus. I have used a HVAC templates system / zone VRF. No ventilation. No sizing factor. One thermal zone.
When I check the output, I have a difference of cooling capacity (in W) between : cooling coil total cooling rate + fan electric power is not equal to VRF heat pump total cooling rate.
I have : 16802.43 + 119.89 is not equal to 17763.99.
I have tried many simulations by changing some parameters but I always have a difference. Its not a lot but I would like to understand before extending my model.
What did I forget ? Or this difference makes sense for you ?
Thank for your help

When I check the output, I have a difference of cooling capacity (in W) between : cooling coil total cooling rate + fan electric power is not equal to different than VRF heat pump total cooling rate.
I have : 16802.43 + 119.89 is not equal to 17763.99.
I have tried many simulations by changing some parameters but I always have a difference. Its not a lot but I would like to understand before extending my model.
What did I forget ? Or what is the reason of this difference makes sense for you ?
