There will be a new Request User Interface (UI) in Concur Starting October 2nd. The process outlined below will not change but the screenshots will be outdated. We'll be working on updating all related knowledge base articles in the upcoming weeks. In the meantime, here is a video on the new UI updates.
Overview
This guide covers how to reconcile Procurement Card charges to create and submit an Expense Report.
Essential Information
- All Procurement Card transactions are automatically uploaded into Concur for viewing and reconciliation.
- In Concur each Procurement Card transaction is considered an Expense.
- To reconcile a charge:
- View the transactions to verify their accuracy.
- Create an Expense Report for each month.
- Add the Expenses to the current month’s Expense Report.
- Submit the Expense Report at the end of the month to complete the reconciliation process.
- Concur identifies the employee payee under Payment Type: Payment to Employee as the user submitting the Expense Report, or the user that the delegate is acting on behalf of.
- To process a Procurement Card Expense Report on behalf of another UCSD employee, the employee will need to add you as their delegate:
- To learn more about how to assign users to act on your behalf, please see KB0031969: How to add a Request Delegate and an Expense Delegate in Concur.
