How to Create Expense Line Items With ExpenseIt

Option 1. Using the SAP Concur Mobile App

Steps

  1. Capture an image of a receipt.

    1. From the SAP Concur app's home page, tap the camera icon. This will access your device's camera.

    2. By default, you will move to the next screen where you will capture a single image of the receipt. If you have a receipt with multiple pages, tap the multi-page icon located at the top of the screen. The color change signifies that the multi-page mode is activated.

    3. Point the camera at the receipt and take a photo. If your receipt contains a summary, capture this first, followed by the page listing the itemized details.

    4. ExpenseIt analyzes the receipt information and displays the amount captured. If the amount captured is incorrect, tap Incorrect and enter the correct amount. If the amount captured is correct, tap that amount to move to the next page.

    5. If you have more receipts to capture, tap Next receipt. If this is the last receipt, tap Done to move to the next page.

    The image displays four screens of the SAP Concur mobile app showing the steps on how to capture the image of a receipt.

  2. ExpenseIt creates an expense line item.

    ExpenseIt employs intelligent techniques to select the relevant information from the receipt. It then creates and uploads a transaction displaying the vendor, location and date of purchase, and the amount. Based on these details, ExpenseIt assigns a relevant expense category.

Below the title there is a section labeled Report Library with a message indicating No Reports. Underneath, there is a section titled Available Expenses with a table listing expenses. The table has columns for Report Name, Expense Type, Expense Name, Vendor, Transaction Date, and Amount. One row is highlighted, showing an expense for Lunch at Osaka Hibachi & Sushi Bar on 04/12/2024 with an amount of $92.58. The right screenshot shows the SAP Concur mobile app with the title Expense at the top. There are two tabs: Reports and Expenses, with the Expenses tab selected. It lists the same expense as displayed on the first screenshot. At the bottom, there are navigation icons for Home, Expense, Travel, Approvals, and Request.

  3. Finish the report in Concur Expense.
