Default Pivot Table as a data collection tool

We recently sent pivot tables to our reps with three year history of several
hundred products (SKU's) and several hundred customers.

We asked that they insert a forecast in the Pivot table source data
worksheet so we could then rebuild the table to display the history and the
forecast.

The request confused most of our sales reps who are admittedly not
particularly EXCEL SAVVY. They insisted on putting there input in the
available cell NEXT to the pivot table data making capturing their forecast
data back to the source data labor intensive.

Is there a solution to this problem? Is there an MS office product more
suited for this task? What is the true meaning of life?
