Manually updating actuals on daily basis - P6v7.03

Taking Progress Reporter/Timesheets out of the equation, is there a way to manually update actual units per day? I know that we can update the actual units on the activity>resource line, but am confused as to why there seems to not be an option to do the same thing on a daily, weekly, monthly basis since we can apply the lump sum actuals and P6 will spread them in a linear fashion. Again, we are taking TS out of the equation as this is the purpose of TS.

Thanks,

Bob
