Configuring Receipt Imaging

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure receipt imaging.

Receipt Imaging Overview

Imaging is a free service hosted entirely by SAP Concur. It enables users to upload and email images to Concur Expense. Once the images are received by the service, they are displayed in PDF file format (using Adobe Reader) within Concur Expense. This guide describes the upload and email processes – for users, delegates, approvers, and processors.

The Receipt Imaging tool is pre-built by Concur. It is assigned to Policies rather than groups.

The image displays a Receipt Handling screen with the Receipt Imaging tab selected. The table lists two entries named Mark Receipts Received = No and Mark Receipts Received = Yes. Each entry shows an Adobe Reader download link. The table includes checkboxes for marking receipts received, displaying images, enabling images, and allowing images. The New, Save, and Remove buttons appear above the table.

Configure Receipt Image Requirements

Completed configurations must be assigned to a Policy to be effective.
