February 2020 Mobile Professional Edition Admin Summary
Release Note Summaries
On 31 March, 2020, SAP Concur mobile app users will have the ability to shop, book and cancel content from Hotel Service V2.
User / Customer Benefit: Travellers expect to be able to book travel on any device. After 31 March, travellers will be able to search, book and cancel Hotel Service V2-sourced hotels from within the SAP Concur mobile app.
With this release, SAP Concur is proud to introduce the new deprecation policy for the mobile app. With this new policy, SAP Concur is no longer managing the requirements of the older versions of the mobile app, which allows resources to focus on current mobile features and enhancements. It also defines the process of marking attributes or features that should be inaccessible to users.
When the current mobile app version on a user’s device is older than the two latest versions, SAP Concur notifies them - through a Message Centre message and push notifications – that they are no longer using a supported version of the app.
When the current mobile version of the app is older than the last 7 versions, users see an upgrade notice on the login page and are no longer able to access the SAP Concur mobile app on their mobile device. Targeted for April 2020 (9.79), users with versions older than 9.73 lose access to the SAP Concur mobile app.
For more information about the retention policy, review this FAQ (English only).
Additional information about this policy will be provided in future release notes.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This policy encourages users to use the most recent version of the mobile app with current features available on the app. It also provides users with more stable versions of the app that are better maintained.
