I'm not sure where your problem might be exactly, but I've tried the following and it works as expected:

I have a simple Person class:

public class Person : ObservableObject
{
    private string name;
    public string Name
    {
        get { return name; }
        set
        {
            if (name == value)
                return;
            name = value;
            RaisePropertyChanged(() => Name);
        }
    }

    private int? age;
    public int? Age
    {
        get { return age; }
        set
        {
            if (age == value)
                return;
            age = value;
            RaisePropertyChanged(() => Age);
        }
    }
}

I also have a simple ViewModel with an ObservableCollection<Person> called Data. Ans, here's my XAML:

<sdk:DataGrid Name="dataGrid" ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
              SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedPerson, Mode=TwoWay}" Grid.Row="1">
    <sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
        <sdk:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
        <sdk:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Age, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
    </sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
</sdk:DataGrid>

I checked how it's working by setting a breakpoint in the Setter for my Age property, and it shows the value comming in as null

Hope this helps ;)

You may use 

<TextBox IsReadOnly="True" Text="{Binding BUApprovalQty, Mode=TwoWay, TargetNullValue=''}"></TextBox>

Check the Output window in Visual Studio for binding errors. You should see a warning that there is no implicit conversion from an empty string to an Integer.

You could use a ValueConverter to perform this task.

See this related question for other approaches. Note that some may not apply as the focus there is WPF.
