Documented features match
- No documented item matched. Not documented
- Product documentation (partial, the article describes the broader feature or mentions this in passing): Manage travel requests, checked 2026-10-02. Version 29 doesn't automatically create an expense report from a travel request. Note: Documents only the Business Central manual side (link request on the expense report); the automatic creation in the Expense Agent is not documented.
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.
