Concur Invoice Standard Edition Administration Help

February 2017 Request Standard Edition Admin Summary

Request

New Compliance Controls Page in Setup

Concur has added a new page in Setup for Request clients. The new Compliance Controls – Compliance Rules page includes a setting to allow users to submit requests that do not contain any segments. Prior to this release, a system control prevented this behavior.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: Some clients prefer to use information in the request header to capture estimated expenses. This enhancement allows clients to configure whether the users can submit requests with only header information completed, and no segment information.

**Reminder** Change in the Monthly Release Schedule

As shown on the 2017 release calendar, starting in March, Expense releases will occur on Saturday instead of Friday. For most users, there is no change; they see the release-related changes on Monday – like they always have. Be aware that, starting in March, any weekend users will likely not see the release-related changes until Sunday.

Support for TLS v 1.0 Encryption Protocol to End March of 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.

Note that, since less than 1% of Concur users are logging in to Concur Solutions using browsers or phones limited to version 1.0, a very small number of users are affected by this support discontinuation.

Please note that the new end date of support is now March. We have moved the date support will end from January 31st to March 31st 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 newer.
