Travel and Payment Card Services is pleased to share the upcoming changes for the Concur Travel System:
SAP Concur Home Page Redesign
In August, SAP Concur launched a refreshed home page experience. Users have had the option to enable the new home page via a banner at the top of the home page when they log in. Starting Oct. 23, the new home page will become the default for all users when they log in. Users can switch back to the legacy home page via the banner. Beginning in January 2025, the legacy home page will be retired, and all customers will use the new home page.
Travel Allowance Upgrade
Effective Oct. 28, users will experience an updated interface within the Travel Allowance Wizard. Daily Allowance (i.e., meal per diems) can now be added to a Travel Request via the Travel Allowance dropdown. Users will experience an improved and more intuitive screen to create their itinerary, including upgraded autofill and default mechanisms. The adjustments page will allow users to make bulk changes by meal type and show summary information for both lodging and meal allowances. When Expense Reports are created from approved Travel Requests, the Daily Allowance expenses will automatically be copied over to the Expense Report, reducing the amount of data entry.
No changes are required for reports submitted before this upgrade. The upgraded Travel Allowance Wizard will be utilized for all new Travel Requests and Expenses Reports created on or after Oct. 28. If you need assistance adding Daily Allowance to your Travel Request or Expense Report, please review the guides and quick reference cards on the Concur website.
For additional assistance, please contact the Concur Support Desk.
