November 2016 Invoice Standard Edition Admin Summary
Concur Receiving Now Available
Concur now offers the ability for users to add quantity receipt data manually in Invoice. Once the user has entered the receipt data, it is available for matching.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This feature is beneficial for clients who can receive receipts in Invoice and use three-way matching to give them more control over their invoice process.
Ship-To and Bill-To Address Entering Made Easier
Clients who use the same ship-to and bill-to address will now be able to type the company location address once and then select a check box that will populate the other company location with that same address.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This enhancement provides clients with a more efficient and faster way of entering bill-to and ship-to addresses and reduces the risk of errors when the address only needs to be entered once.
Processor Page Displays All Payment Requests/PRs/POs to Be Processed
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This feature makes work more efficient for processors who can see the items that they need to process as soon as they open the processor page.
User Import: Change Login ID Using New Login ID Field
With this release, admins using the User import who want to change the login ID value for an employee can now do so using a new field, New Login ID, in the User Import Excel template. This enhancement resolves a fix in the September release that prevents update of this value using theLogin ID field. Prior to that fix, admins would incorrectly use the Login ID field and in the process corrupt user data.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This enhancement fixes an issue introduced in the September service release, and improves the overall ability to change a login ID using the User import template.
Reminder: Support Ending for Deprecated APIs
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This update removes outdated or unused APIs and API functions.
**Coming Soon** Support for TLS v 1.0 Encryption Protocol Ends March 2017
Concur announces an End-of-Support cycle for version 1.0 of the TLS encryption protocol, continuing support for the more secure 1.1 and 1.2 versions of TLS. As background, the TLS protocol allows secure back and forth communications between a phone or computer and a cloud-based service.
We have moved the date support will end from 31 January to 31 March of 2017 in order to give our clients ample time to understand and make the required manual changes to their browser's security settings. These changes will be detailed in an upcoming service release.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: Concur is taking this step after careful consideration of both the client’s security and ease of upgrade to the newer, more secure 1.1 and 1.2 versions of TLS. This end-of-life plan for TLS v 1.0 ensures our clients are communicating with Concur services in a safe and secure manner using TLS v. 1.1 and later versions.
Capture Processing: Improvements to Rotation of Invoice
With this release, the admin working with invoices on the Document Separation page may now elect to rotate the invoice either clockwise or anticlockwise. Prior to this change, the function was limited to rotating clockwise to reach the preferred display. Now the image may be rotated as needed to reach the correct display more rapidly.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This enhancement speeds up the task of working with the rotation of invoices.
