Hi,
Hopes you have define your one expense type as estimated cost..
To integrate Travel Management with Funds Management, proceed as follows:
●      Activate integration with Funds Management (see  Integration with Travel Management).
●      In Customizing for Travel Management, under Travel Expenses ® Master Data ® Travel Expense Types ® Create Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts, create an expense type with the following properties:
○       Short name: for example, Estimated Costs
○       Travel Expense Category: Other
○       Amounts are: Estimated Costs, No Reimbursement to Employee
When users specify estimated costs that are greater than zero in travel requests, the system creates a receipt for the estimated costs, which is forwarded as a commitment document to Funds Management.
After the trip takes place, the user needs to manually delete the automatically created receipt from the receipt buffer in the expense report.
Also check your configuration from Funds management side.
