On the Company Travel Configuration page, you’ll find the section for Agency Information at the top of the page just below the Configuration and Billing Tier fields. If you’re within another section of the company travel configuration, you can use the scroll bar or the back to top link to easily get back to the top of the page to access the Agency Information.
The fields included in the Agency Information section are useful for ensuring accurate setup and management of travel configurations within SAP Concur. To learn more about the fields in the Agency Information section, review the following labeled graphic and corresponding table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| 1: Agency Booking Config. | This field is where the Agency Booking Configuration is assigned to the company. Once the Agency Booking Configuration is created, it can be selected from the dropdown menu. This should be the agency configuration created when the setup request work order is submitted. If you do not see the correct agency, contact SAP Concur support immediately. |
| 2: BAR (Accounting Name) | This field refers to the Business Accounting Record (BAR), which is the Profile in the Global Distribution System (GDS). Each GDS refers to the profile by a different name, most commonly known as BAR in Sabre, STAR in Apollo (Travelport) and Sabre, Worldfile in Amadeus. The specifications are (optionally) PCC- followed by the BAR/STAR/Worldfile name.
