Since a lot of people don’t read the Purdue Today emails and other fun campus-wide email notifications, can you please send the following information out to your the departments? As many of you are probably already aware, changes were made to the Concur system that became effective January 31^st . The notification for these changes went out in various campus-wide notification systems which are sometimes easily overlooked, therefore, below is a list to summarize the changes: ·Interface changes include a redisgned home page, expense page and approvals page. More information on interface changes found here <https://spa2010.itap.purdue.edu/Business/bpnews/Lists/NewsReleases/display.aspx?ID=855&ContentTypeId=0x0100C6C38F95C9D2F342ADC55A4BA3B165C8>. ·Travelers no longer will need to provide estimated expenses in advance of trip approval. This change will save time and eliminate some efforts related to end-of-trip variances. It will save about 10 minutes per Trip Request and will eliminate the 20 percent variance on the Expense Report. Please still create a trip request with the header information and dates for liability purposes and that the University is aware you will be off-campus for the dates you’ve requested. ·Travelers with authorized delegates who manage the Concur process on their behalf will no longer be required to take action *beyond the initial submission of expense reports*. Delegates may file any subsequent submissions. Travelers without delegates still will be required to submit subsequent expense reports as necessary. ·The pre-trip notification structure also will be modified and will be sent only to the traveler, the traveler’s supervisor and the fiscal approver. All information still will be stored in Concur, but unnecessary notification emails will be eliminated. Thanks!
