Standard mileage rate
Standard mileage rate
The standard rate setup still works. If filled, the new rate setup is not used.
Area: Expense Agent. Status: GA. Developer relevance: low. Airtime: 1 min across 1 video, demoed.
Status evidence
- Nothing said about status; launch event convention: generally available unless stated otherwise.
Where they talk about it
- What's new in Expense Agent: Improved Mileage Handling: 1:48 to 2:28, demo at 2:04 (called "Standard rate of mileage (simple model)" there)
Quotes
- 2:04 "So, if you put standard rate of mileage, system will not look into do this new complicated and more complex mileage setup." - Design decision: a filled-in standard rate overrides the new mileage rate setup.
Caveats mentioned
- The standard rate takes precedence over the mileage rate setup when it is filled in
Documented features match
- Add date ranges and vehicle types in your mileage calculation - low confidence (llm). Docs say: Public preview, roadmap id 573254. Mileage rate area
- Product documentation: Set up mileage rates for expense management, checked 2026-10-02. Standard Rate of Mileage from the Expense Agent Setup page if no mileage rate setup record matches. Note: Docs describe it as a fallback when no rate setup record matches; the video says the new setup is ignored when the standard rate is filled, which is the reverse order.
Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
