No expense type for estimated costs has been defined

Question

Hi SAP guru,
My client wanna check budget from travel request. Check budget through Funds Management already available when post travel expense before posting to FI however they need on the travel request.
I read the documentation, it could be happen when approval the travel request. The problem is travel request used the activity, and try to enter the estimated cost as value.
When we enter the estimated cost, system refused with error message:
No expense type for estimated costs has been defined. Cannot save
Message no. PTRA_WEB_INTERFACE174
How to link the expense type to estimated cost?
or how is the scenario in order we can check budget from travel request?
any kind help will be appreciate,
dewi

Hello Dewi,
If you have the funds management active, you need to go to        
maintainance view V_T706B1 and create an expense type for which   
you choose out of the 'special use' drop down box the value       
'estimated cost, no reimbursement'.                               
Background: When saving a travle request we build up a commitment 
for the estimated cost. This is new functionality.
