for material default
for material default unit/time use 1 because any thing divided by zero or multiplied by zero is what ? Yes zero
so what it does is basically is multiplying the default units/time by the duration to get the budget amount and for distribution it is dividing this budget amount duration and is spreading this amount units/time by the start and end date of the activity. So multiplying and or divided anything by zero will be zero.
for example if you have a resource for labor and set the default units/time to be 8 and you have a duration of 5 days it will take the 5 days time 8 hours per day 5*8=40 budgeted units. Then for the distribution it will spread the 40 hours by the units/time in this case 8 so it will show 8 hours per day for 5 day
