    Try the Following Step if u Want to Type Budget Cost Directly
    1.Select Enterprise->Resource Dictionary
    2.Resource Id Type BOQ
    3.Resource Name (XXXXXX)
    3.Resource Type As Material
    4.Click ActivityDetail Tab->ResourceTab->Add Resource->Select BOQ(Resource Id)
    5.Click Status Tab->Right Corner u Can See Labour unit->Change to Material Cost -> Budget Cost ->type the Cost Directly

    In the Resource Dictonary Please Check the Following Option
    1.Select the Resource
    1.Units & Price tab- >Price/unit->1.00 (it May be Zero)
    2.Details->uncheck the calculate cost from unit
    Recalulate Assignment Cost is Calculated base on Price/Unit*Budget Unit
    3.Now if u run Recalculate Assignment Cost I hope it wont Change

    Because in P6 if u assigned a resource it will default assigned a budget unit of (8*orginal duration)
    If u run Recalculate Assignment Cost Ur Budget cost will become (Budget unit*Price/unit)
    U need to uncheck the calculate cost from units
    Recalulate Assignment Cost is Calculated base on Price/Unit*Budget Unit
    3.Now if u run Recalculate Assignment Cost I hope it wont Change
    4.U need to uncheck the calculate cost from unit for all the resource u have assigned to the project
