Est Vs Actuals Settings

The Est Vs Actuals custom settings control the behavior of estimated versus actual records.

Due to Salesforce restrictions on queries, do not configure project actuals roll ups for weeks. Select the configuration option Project Rollup Types (in the Actuals Types group) and make sure there is no entry for type Week.
