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 The process outlined below will not change but the screenshots will be outdated.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 article reviews a Concur Request and a Concur Expense. A COA/POETAF validation error occurs in Concur when chartstring for Financial Unit information is entered incorrectly: Fund, Financial Unit, Function, Account, Program, Location, Project, Task, or Funding Source. Make sure to confirm with your Fund Manager that you are entering the correct COA/POETAF information. You should then correct the information for resubmission.
Essential Information
-
If the error message contains OP anywhere, e.g. POETAF Failed Validation [1001051.3.OP-534.], this means that a UCOP chartstring value has been used, hence the OP in the error message.
-
Review the document and confirm that all of the values end in -SD and not -OP
-
If you are unsure of the chartstring for Financial Unit information, please consult your Fund Manager.
