Configuring the Itemization Wizard

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to modify personal expense itemizations in Concur Expense Professional Edition.

Itemization Wizard Overview

Itemization wizards define the expense types that users can select when itemizing an expense. For each expense type, you can specify whether it is:​

  • A primary or secondary expense type​

  • A required expense type​

  • Automatically defaults to a personal expense​

  • Automatically required to be a personal expense​

This itemization option doesn't replace the existing lodging itemization wizard. The lodging wizard is specifically designed to handle the recurring daily expenses associated with a hotel stay. The new itemization wizard option allows users to itemize single occurrences of an expense type on the same date as the parent expense.
