• First, each task's pay item usage is calculated and saved into one or more Project Estimates (one per project) and locked.
• Next the Project Estimates for each Item Set are rolled up into one or more Item Set Estimates and locked (One for each Item Set in the Estimate Set being locked).
• Next, a roll-up of the Item Set Estimates and additional Estimate Set details are pushed into the Estimate record.
• The period is locked.
