Symptom
You have created an Expense Report for a trip and added an expense type of Lodging category (e. g. Hotel). You then change the Expense Report Start or End Date and expect the system to automatically update the Lodging Expense Check-In/Out Dates accordingly. However this doesn't happen and you get an information message: "Business trip duration has changed; adapt your expense dates if necessary".

Cause
The auto update in Lodging Expense Check-In/Out dates is currently not available in the present release of SAP Cloud for Travel & Expense. System behavior is correct here.
