December 2016 Expense Professional Edition Admin Summary

Administration

Audit Rules - Ticket and Credit Card Matching Fix Prevents Exceptions

With this release, the system will now truncate the Ticket Number field from 14 characters to 13 characters, reversing a change introduced through a fix in early 2016. This update will prevent an audit rule from triggering an exception based on non-matching total numbers as the original 14-character, non-truncated ticket number was not matching the 13-character transaction. Now, the audit rule exception will no longer trigger based on the total number of characters, but instead on non-matching record data.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This enhancement fixes an issue that causes an audit rule to generate an erroneous exception in matching when in fact the ticket and credit card values are a match and the system should associated them to one other.

Can Copy Down New Travel Fields from a Credit Card Feed

With the December release, Concur may map the following fields from a Visa Commercial Format (VCF4) feed to Concur expense entries:

Table	Column	CTEShortCode	CESShortCode
CT_CC_TRANS_TRAVEL	CUSTOM1	TravelCustom1	TravelCustom1
CT_CC_TRANS_TRAVEL	CUSTOM2	TravelCustom2	TravelCustom2
CT_CC_TRANS_TRAVEL	CUSTOM3	TravelCustom3	TravelCustom3
CT_CC_TRANS_TRAVEL	CUSTOM4	TravelCustom4	TravelCustom4
CT_CC_TRANS_TRAVEL	CUSTOM5	TravelCustom5	TravelCustom5

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This change allows for additional read-only information, such as passenger name, to display in expense entries.

Import Extract Admin – Job Run Confirmation and Logging Changes

With this release, the Import/Extract Administrator and Import/Extract Monitor roles will now see a confirmation message when they elect to execute an import or extract job using options in the Import/Extract Administrator tool. In addition, when the job is requested, the action is logged by the system to the Change Log tool where the email address of the employee originating the job run is recorded for auditing purposes.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This enhancement prevents accidental job runs by forcing the admin to perform a second step to confirm they want the job to run.
