Test Entities | Production Sandbox Environment

**Ongoing** Audit Trail for Vendor Manager Not Migrated

Some SAP Concur users use Production Sandbox Environment (PSE) entities to set up, test, and train on new configurations prior to deploying them to their live production entity. SAP Concur plans to migrate PSEs as part of our move to Amazon Web Services (AWS).

For more information, refer to the SAP Concur Cloud Platform Strategy FAQ (English Only).

When PSEs are migrated, the vendor audit trail associated with vendors in Vendor Manager, will not be migrated. The audit trail will be rebuilt as changes are made to vendor information after migration.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: Once in AWS, PSEs will benefit from the same stability, monitoring capabilities, and level of performance as production entities.

Planned Change Summaries

The items in this section are targeted for future releases. SAP Concur reserves the right to postpone implementation of – or completely remove – any enhancement/change mentioned here.

Invoice Pay

**Planned Changes** New Date Fields on Provider Payment Manager Payment Details Page

SAP Concur Payment Providers can soon update invoice payments that they process with new Payment Initiation Date and Funding Settlement Date fields.

Invoice Payment Manager users can access the Provider Payment Manager page to search for payments processed by Payment Providers and view payment information. Fields for the Payment Initiation Date and Funding Settlement Date will be added to the Payment Details section in Provider Payment Manager for Invoice Payment Managers to view this information.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This update allows Invoice Payment Manager users to view Payment Initiation Date and Funding Settlement Date fields in the Payment Provider Manager page.

**Planned Changes** New Fields Added to Invoice Payment Confirmation Extract for Payment Provider Payments

New fields will soon be added to the Invoice Payment Confirmation Extract to provide clients additional information for payments processed by Payment Providers.

Field Name

Description
Funding Source Reference This identifies the client’s funding source /account used to pay the invoice.
Provider Payment Method The method the payment was issued by the Payment Provider.
Funding Request Reference This is the identifier for the debit transaction from the client's account to fund a payment.
Thirdparty Payment Reference Unique identifier of a payment issued by the Payment Provider (ex. check number or ACH trace number).
Invoice Currency The currency of the invoice being paid.
Funding Currency Currency in which the payment was funded in by the client to the Payment Provider.
Payment Currency The currency in which the payment to the vendor was made.
Foreign Exchange Rate The foreign exchange rate used to calculate the payment in the Payment Currency based on the Funding Currency.

These field additions will be aligned with upcoming Invoice Pay v4.0 API enhancements.

For more information regarding Invoice Pay v4.0 APIs, refer to the Developer Center release notes (English Only).

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This update allows clients to extract additional payment information updated in Concur Invoice by Payment Providers.

Vendor Management

**Planned Changes** New Vendors from Embargoed Countries Now Blocked

Concur Invoice will soon require all vendors to have the Country Code field populated in the system. The Country Code field will now be a required field regardless of how a vendor record is input (through the API, imported, or manually input).

Additionally, embargoed countries will no longer display in the Country Code list, preventing the creation of any new vendors who reside in embargoed countries from being added within Concur Invoice.

This change helps ensure that vendors whose address is originating from countries that fail to adhere to SAP's policy for conducting business with embargoed countries are no longer added in Concur Invoice. SAP policy prohibits the use of all SAP products and services in, from, or in support of, any business activities in locations where SAP products and services are not available. This list includes Cuba (CU), Iran (IR), North Korea (KP), Syria (SY), and Crimea Region / Sevastopol.

Vendors who are already in Concur Invoice will not be impacted.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This change ensures clients follow local, national, and international laws governing embargoed countries, and are systematically protected to the best ability from malicious actors and actions when working with SAP Concur products.
