Actually they should because every one has excatly same same
fees and fines.
But i am getting 2 members with different valueation even
though everything should be excatly the same for all.

Pavel, if you have for every month using the same valuation date each month
for each member entry posted the same to each person for both payment and
fees, they would be the same, except for maybe a penny rounding difference.
If some paid a fee and some did not, the ones who did would have a larger
PIPE, but no difference in units, if the amount credited as member payment
was the same. Do an edit of your member entries to be sure you have indeed
used correct valuation dates, and identical amounts posted for each one in
each category.

What are these fees and fines for? If any of it is for club expenses, it
would be more appropriate to post any extra funds collected as member
payment, since posting of fees should just be for personal assessments, like
a late charge, bounced check, or new member administration fee.

Incidentally, you do not have to keep all members equal, which won't hold up
as times go by and members come and go, or some pay at irregular times. It
is not necessary, the software will appropriately track unit values and
ownership percentages based on what has been posted for each person and when
it was credited.
