If work is according to plan (baseline planned date = Actual Date) then both of them should be same distribution but normal case it is not so the distribution will not be the same. If you use Store Period Performance that should record all the actual units based on define Financial Period. If not then actual distribution will keep changing and distributed proportionally based on actual start to data date.

I have tried your suggestion, but it doesnt work.
When I checked the Activity Usage Profile, the blue bar (Actual Units) for some perioods is still not in the same height as the yellow bar (Budget Units). Some is higher and some is lower compare to the Actual Units. They should be the same right? Please correct me if Im wrong. Thanks.

This is a common problem if datadate time is not the same as timescale. By default if you set a datadate the time is 12:00AM or 00:00hrs. To resolve this issue, when setting datadate make sure that time is also show (Edit-> Users Preferences-> Time Unit tab-> Time then tick 12:00 hour (1:30 PM)) then adjust your data date time to last working hour say 5:00PM. That should equal cumulative total on actual labor units and At completion datadate.
