Authentication

These changes are part of the SAP Concur continued commitment to maintaining secure authentication.

Single Sign-On allows users to access multiple applications using one set of login credentials. Currently, SAP Concur has two methods for signing in: with a user name and password or using SSO with Identity Provider (IdP) credentials, such as a user's login credentials for their organisation.

This feature provides SAP Concur customers with a self-service option for setting up SSO and for existing SSO customers who must eventually migrate to the new SSO service to manage SSO for their users.

File Transfer Updates

This release note is intended for technical staff responsible for file transmissions with SAP Concur. For our customers and suppliers participating in data exchange through various secure file transfer protocols, SAP Concur is making changes that provide greater security for those file transfers.

These changes provide greater security for file transfers.

Financial Integration

This feature/change has been targeted for release. For information about this feature/change, refer to the applicable product release notes.

Language Support

Currently, the Thailand country pack for SAP Concur Standard Edition supports English only. In a future release, the Thailand country pack will include language support for Thai.

This change will enable clients with the Thailand country pack to configure SAP Concur solutions to display UI text in Thai.

List Import

Beginning with the July release, Start Date and End Date information that is included in the concur-standard.xml or concur-standard-71.xml import definition files will not be stored by SAP Concur solutions.

The Start Date and End Date information is not referenced or used by SAP Concur solutions and does not need to be stored.

Miscellaneous

SAP is updating the Imaging XML API to clarify two error codes. The service currently returns an HTTP 200 code even when the API returns an error 500 in the XML response. This update corrects the HTTP error code, returning HTTP 500 if the API response includes the 500 error code. Additionally, the Imaging response error code 503 (Storage Unavailable) will be changed to error code 122, to reduce confusion with the HTTP 503 error code.

This update supports better monitoring of the Imaging XML API.

Mobile

Targeted for the August (9.83) Mobile release, SAP Concur solutions plans to retire the Mobile PIN sign-in option in the SAP Concur mobile app.

This change coincides with the redesign of the mobile sign-in page which will also be implemented with the August release.

The retirement of this feature better supports secure authentication by removing the less secure PIN option, simplifies the way users sign into the SAP Concur mobile app and makes the mobile sign-in experience more consistent with the web sign-in experience.

Product Settings

Beginning with the July release, the warning message that appears when you click Delete to delete a custom field will be updated.

This change ensures that the client is aware of the impact that deleting a custom field will have on their stored data, and introduces additional safeguards to ensure custom fields are not accidentally deleted.
