NextGen UI

**Ongoing** Updated User Interface (UI) for Concur Expense End Users

The continued evolution of the Concur Expense solution user interface experience is the result of thoughtful design and research that provides a modern, intuitive, and streamlined experience for creating and submitting expense reports.

Concur Expense customers are now strongly encouraged to preview and then move to the NextGen UI well before the automatic transition date of October 1, 2022.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: The result is the next generation of the Concur Expense user interface designed to provide a modern, consistent, and streamlined user experience. This technology not only provides an enhanced user interface, but also allows us to react more quickly to customer requests to meet changing needs as they happen.

Release Notes

Shared Planned Changes Moving to New Shared Changes Release Notes

Beginning with the January 2022 draft release notes, shared (SAP Concur cross-product) changes, shared planned changes, and changes to SAP Concur core technologies are published in a new document, Shared Changes Release Notes. This document replaces the current Shared Planned Changes Release Notes.

Shared and core technology features and changes include, but are not limited to:

  • Security-related changes—for example, annual security certificate renewals, changes to support for security ciphers, changes in support for security protocols, and changes to username and password requirements.

  • UI design changes that impact all products—for example, changes to the functionality or appearance of the SAP Concur home page, the addition or removal of links from the site header or footer, changes to the user profile. page, and theme changes that impact the overall look and feel of the SAP Concur site.

  • Sign-in process changes—for example, the addition or removal of sign-in features, URL changes, domain-name changes, and changes to verified email.

  • Changes to production or test environments.

  • Changes that impact site-wide settings, changes to global settings, and changes to pages for configuring site-wide or global settings—for example, changes to the User Administration page, changes to Product Settings for Standard Edition, and the introduction of new administration tools.

PREVIOUS PROCESS

SAP Concur User Assistance published the Shared Planned Changes Release Notes in coordination with each monthly release. This document included shared and core features and changes that SAP Concur plans to implement in the future. When those changes were officially released, the release or implementation of the change was distributed and documented in the product-specific release notes—for example, the Concur Expense, Concur Invoice, Concur Request, or Concur Travel release notes.

NEW PROCESS

Beginning in January 2022, the implementation of shared and core features, and changes to existing shared and core features are now documented in the new Shared Changes Release Notes. This applies both when the features and changes are planned changes and when they are officially released. The shared/core release notes will no longer be distributed to product-specific release notes.

Changes that are specific to one product and that impact that product's functionality or UI for admins or for end users will continue to be documented in that product's release notes.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This change reduces duplication of information, ensures that the product-specific release notes contain product-specific information, and provides a single source for SAP Concur shared changes and changes to core technologies.

This feature is now documented in the Shared Changes Release Notes (English Only).
