You can simplify the hardest part of submitting expense reports (expense claims). When it comes to receipts, it may feel like the Wild West. But SAP Concur has some key features that decrease errors and collect all your receipts in one place, ultimately getting you reimbursed faster. Before submitting your expenses, take advantage of the key Concur Expense profile settings and productivity features below that help simplify the expense process and shorten your path to reimbursement.
The following SAP Concur profile settings help you automate the expense capture and reconciliation process.
