I know what you are talking about, it happened to me once.
whenever you see the unwanted numbers show up in "Actual this period", try "Recalculate Assignment Cost" commend under "Tools" option. The numbers shall turn back to zero and all unit/cost related fields shoud be correct.
Not sure whats the reason behind. Probably you set the resource as "Calculate costs from units" but somehow the (actual cost) is not equal to (units)x(price/unit).
Two things you have to know when you use period feature,
1. Never key-in numbers directly into any periodic field, only in "Actual This Period" then save to certain period;
2. When "Calculate costs from units" is checked, dont manually key-in actual cost which should be calculated from units.

Thats all I know about this, Good luck!
