Concur has added support for self-service connections to Enterprise applications from the App Centre. For applications that have enabled this connection flow, administrators can connect their Concur implementation to enterprise partner integrations directly from the App Centre.

While connecting to an application, the administrator may see up to three types of terms and conditions, depending on the app:

• Concur App Centre End-User Terms & Conditions. These are the basic terms of use for individual users in the App Centre. You will be asked to accept these terms only once.
• Shared Information. This states the specific information that will be shared with the partner. This is specific to the partner integration you are connecting to. You will be asked to accept these terms for each application.
• Customer Authorisation to Link Accounts. These are the basic terms of use for company-wide integrations. Your company will be asked to accept these terms only once.

After accepting the terms and conditions, the administrator is directed to the partner's site to set up their administrator account and complete the connection process.

The first app using this connection flow is Uber for Business.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This connection flow simplifies the process when integrating your Concur implementation with Enterprise partners. In addition, the App Centre provides a more unified and secure experience when an administrator connects your company to an Enterprise app.

With this release, Concur has removed the Quick Tips section of the Concur Solutions home page (concursolutions.com).

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This update simplifies the home page, making it easier to view and access the information on the page.

In June, the HTML editor used by admins for custom text and messaging was updated. The change was made to provide an up-to-date HTML editor utilising today’s standards including HTML5 as well as to increase the security of the HTML editor.

The toolbar might contain two rows or three rows based on location, but the available options on the toolbar did not change. To clarify – all of the options on the previous toolbar are available on the enhanced toolbar. Depending on your task, you may see the three-row toolbar or you may see the two-row toolbar.

Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 10 browsers under Concur products now ends 18 August 2017. Concur strongly advises clients using IE v.10 to update to the latest IE browser version before that date, or to install and work with another supported browser.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This update reminds employees that the version of Internet Explorer they are using is obsolete and they should upgrade in consultation with their organisation.

Planned Changes

On the Concur home page, the existing link to upload receipts (New > Upload Receipts) will take users to the Available Receipts section of the main Expense page.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: The change allows users to upload receipts more efficiently.
