Other Changes
Credit Card Transactions Alert Description UpdatedThe description of the Credit Card Transaction alert on the Actionable Analytics Set Up tab on the Reporting Configuration page was updated to include information about merchant category codes. This update is targeted to occur sometime between the July release, 21 July 2018 and the August release, 18 August 2018.
This enhancement only applies to the description text on the Actionable Analytics Set Up tab. Even though the reference to the merchant categories was removed from the description in the May release, the alert continued to be triggered when credit card transactions were made at a merchant associated with one of the merchant codes that are flagged for review.
WHAT THE ADMIN SEES
The Credit Card Transactions alert description is updated on the Actionable Analytics Set Up tab.
Description from the May release:
Credit Card Transactions
Send an email alert to BI Managers when a credit card transaction is equal to or greater than a threshold amount specified in your reporting currency of [your organisation's reporting currency].
New Description:
Credit Card Transactions
Send an email alert to BI Managers when a credit card transaction is equal to or greater than a threshold amount specified in your reporting currency of [your organisation's reporting currency] or belongs to a certain merchant category.

Concur Open is the SAP Concur near-real-time service status dashboard, which displays known and widespread outages and incidents for select SAP Concur services and all data centres. Concur Open displays the current service status as well as incident history for the past 20 days.
Targeted for the end of July, there will be new functionality added to Concur Open. Users can continue to access Concur Open and view Concur service availability; no functionality will be removed. However, with the release, SAP Concur users will be able to log in to Concur Open and:
- View service status for the services and the data centre that are specific to their company
- Access subscription options for updates about the incidents that affect the services specific to their company
- View service history for the past two years as well as detailed root cause analysis information and the actions taken by SAP Concur for specific incidents
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: Customers use Concur Open to monitor their SAP Concur services outages, status and availability. Adding this new functionality will provide customers with a personalised view of their service status and availability. SAP Concur's goal is to provide a more accurate and transparent view of incidents/outages.
Processor Privacy Statement Link in Online HelpThe Processor Privacy Statement link is available in the SAP Concur footer.
However, not all pages in SAP Concur display the footer. In this case, the user can return to the Home page and click the Processor Privacy Statement link there.
Also with this release, the Processor Privacy Statement link is available in online Help.
Planned Changes
The items in this section are targeted for future releases. Concur reserves the right to postpone implementation of – or completely remove – any enhancement/change mentioned here.
**Planned Changes** Insight Premium Product Retirement (31 December 2018)SAP Concur plans to retire our Insight Premium product on 31 December 2018.
