ABSTRACT:
A method and system for editing actual work records with a start date, an end date and a work value. A period actual is entered, including a period actual start date, period actual end date, and a period actual work value. Before the period actual is stored as an actual work record, it is determined whether there is any overlap between the actual work records and the period actual. If so, any overlap between the actual work records and period actual is eliminated. Any overlapping actual work records that are completely within the period actual, i.e., with a start date and end date between the period actual start date and period actual end date, are deleted. For an overlapping actual work record that surrounds the period actual, i.e., the period actual start date and period actual end date are between the start date and end date, the end date and work value of the overlapping actual work record are modified and a new actual work record is created. For an overlapping period actual with a start date before the period actual end date and an end date equal to or between the period actual start date and period actual end date, the end date and work value are modified. For an overlapping period actual with a start date equal to or between the period actual start date and period actual end date and an end date after the period actual end date, the start date and work value are modified.
