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
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

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
