msepostdoc-list Fwd: Changes to Concur

[Donna Bystrom]

Since a lot of people don’t read the Purdue Today emails and other fun 
campus-wide email notifications, can you please send the following 
information out to your the departments?

As many of you are probably already aware, changes were made to the 
Concur system that became effective January 31^st . The notification for 
these changes went out in various campus-wide notification systems which 
are sometimes easily overlooked, therefore, below is a list to summarize 
the changes:

·Interface changes include a redisgned home page, expense page and 
approvals page. More information on interface changes found here 
<https://spa2010.itap.purdue.edu/Business/bpnews/Lists/NewsReleases/display.aspx?ID=855&ContentTypeId=0x0100C6C38F95C9D2F342ADC55A4BA3B165C8>.

·Travelers no longer will need to provide estimated expenses in advance 
of trip approval. This change will save time and eliminate some efforts 
related to end-of-trip variances. It will save about 10 minutes per Trip 
Request and will eliminate the 20 percent variance on the Expense 
Report. Please still create a trip request with the header information 
and dates for liability purposes and that the University is aware you 
will be off-campus for the dates you’ve requested.

·Travelers with authorized delegates who manage the Concur process on 
their behalf will no longer be required to take action *beyond the 
initial submission of expense reports*. Delegates may file any 
subsequent submissions. Travelers without delegates still will be 
required to submit subsequent expense reports as necessary.

·The pre-trip notification structure also will be modified and will be 
sent only to the traveler, the traveler’s supervisor and the fiscal 
approver. All information still will be stored in Concur, but 
unnecessary notification emails will be eliminated.

Thanks!
