Updating Periodic Snapshot Fact Tables

What are the best practices for maintaining periodic snapshot fact tables if the atomic data that created them is modified? We have a couple periodic snapshot tables that capture new inventory and new revenue at the end of every month. Sometimes the business users may correct data at a later time or back date inventory or revenue weeks later.

Should I be recalculating the periodic snapshot for the affected periods?
