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. Currency Code: When you change the currency on an open request, the current exchange rate is used to calculate the local-currency amount. Note: Foreign currency estimates and Amount (LCY) are documented; a dedicated action to update the local amount at travel time was not found.
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.
