Travel Receipts

Save your travel receipts for expense reconciliation after you return from travel. You can also manage them as you travel for quicker reconciliation upon trip completion.

There are a few options for uploading receipts in Concur Expense. Visit our mobile tools training library for videos and downloadable guides on utilizing these features.

  • E-Receipts - Activate e-receipts and all air, lodging and vehicle rental receipts from participating vendors are automatically uploaded in your "Available Expenses"
  • ExpenseIt - Available through the SAP Concur mobile app or by emailing receipts to receipts@expenseit.com, this "smart receipt" AI technology scans receipts for information to create itemizations and assign expense types
  • Mobile App - Use ExpenseIt in the SAP Concur app to take pictures of receipts with your phone's camera and upload them to "Available Expenses" 
  • Scan - Scan images of receipts to a computer using a scanner and import from the device to your "Available Receipts"

Hot Tip: For travelers that prefer not to manage meal receipts, you can claim per diem for the trip and expense all meals paid on the 澳门六合彩开奖apptravel card as 鈥淧er Diem Offset Meal.鈥 You can use the Per Diem Reduction expense to reduce any remaining per diem not claimed for reimbursement.

Receipts are required for all 澳门六合彩开奖appbusiness travel expenses except 鈥減er diem offset meal,鈥 even when the expense is paid on the agency card held by CTM or the 澳门六合彩开奖apptravel card held by employees.

Except for air, lodging and vehicle rental, individual expenses less than $75 are reimbursable without a receipt in the event the receipt is lost, misplaced or inadvertently not obtained.

  • A receipt is defined as an itemized record (paper or digital) issued by the vendor on which the purchased goods or services are listed with the total amount paid and the prices for each.
  • Receipts for 鈥淎ctual Meal鈥 expenses require itemization and cannot include alcohol purchases.
  • Foreign receipts require explanation by type of expense in English. Currency exchange rates are calculated by Concur.
  • While a charge on the travel card will provide information such as vendor name (in most cases) and total amount paid, receipts provide an itemization and description of the good/service purchased from the vendor by which the business need for the expense is validated. Generally, the itemization and description do not come through with the card charge.
