I think you should use resources type as nonlabor then all units will be = zero, and u can add just the total budget cost or not. So, in that case you planned progress will be based on the duration regardless of the resources.
Maybe i am missing the point, but wouldnt this just be a scheduled plan without levelling. If you dont level then P6 will give you a planned progress based on logic and duration only, it dosnt look at resources until you level, it asumes you have an infinate amount of resources. This only works as long as you havnt based any of your logic on resources.

Create Radically Better Construction Schedules with ALICE Technologies
Use the power of AI to create construction schedules that reduce risk while cutting costs and build time. With ALICE, develop the ideal schedule during preconstruction -- or recover projects that are off schedule and over budget.

Hi
In addition to Raymund suggestion you could also make 1 resource "dayres" and allocate to each activity the duration of the activity.
Example=
Act-1010 dur 25 days dayres allocation 25 units
Act. 1020 dur 15 days dayres allocation 15 units
Act. 1030 dur 10 days dayres allocation 10 units
In this way you can obtain a resourse loaded schedule and you can create histograms and "S"curves.
Note
None of my junior schedulers are allowed to use this practice. Only fully loaded schedules are permitted.
Trusting this helps

Hi,
You will never avail any data if your schedule is not loaded with any resource.
I suggest to create a material resource type with a price per unit = 1$ and load to all your activities.
Only then you will get a data to generate the diagram as required.
Hope this will help.
