Invoice

My Request Page Enhancements

With this release, users who select an action (for example, assign) on the My Requests page that will route the invoice to someone else they can now choose if they want to go back to the payment request list or go to their next payment request directly.

In addition, users can decide if they want to go to their next payment request directly by clicking the Next Request link instead of going back to the payment request list on the My Requests page.

Business Purpose/Client Benefit: These enhancements make it easier and quicker for clients to navigate between payment requests.

The Budget feature enables clients to set up all components of a budget; a fiscal year to determine the budget period, budget tracking fields to track spending on a cost centre (profit centre) level, budget categories to group expense types for budget purposes and budgets, which are the actual annual budgets, and Budget Items, which define the budget including fiscal year, budget owner, budget name and description.

This feature makes budgets visible, actionable and real-time for approvers and budget owners, leading to high-quality spending decisions for Invoice (payment requests and purchase requests).

In addition, the Budget feature is available for the Concur mobile app for Invoice and is part of the Early Adopter Programme. Please note that the release for the Concur mobile app occurs seven to ten days after the regular release.

Text FTP

Concur is announcing the End of Support for plain text FTP as a means to transfer data to and from Concur.

On 15th May, 2018, Concur Operations will apply a security update to our File Transfer infrastructure, restricting the use of plain text FTP as a part of our ongoing commitment to securing our customers’ data and meeting the audited security requirements of the "Concur Trust Platform".
