Missing Receipt Declarations

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create a missing receipt declaration when a receipt image is unavailable in the SAP Concur mobile app.

Introduction to Missing Receipt Declarations

A Missing Receipt Declaration (MRD) is a policy-driven safeguard that lets you attest to the details of a business expense when the original receipt is lost, unavailable, or impractical to obtain. Instead of halting reimbursement, the MRD captures the essential information – amount, date, merchant, business purpose – and records a formal certification from the user.

Your system administrator can configure when MRDs are allowed, set thresholds by amount or expense type, and require additional fields or attestations to maintain compliance and reduce fraud risk.

In the Concur mobile app, creating an MRD is integrated directly into the normal expense workflow. When a receipt is missing for a line item that requires one, you can select Missing Receipt Declaration to generate a policy-compliant declaration on the spot - no separate form or desktop action needed.

Review the image below to learn more about the MRD workflow.
