Do you frequently submit expense reports through SAP Concur? Did you know that the university pays a fee for each report or request – an average of $12 per submission in 2024. Approximately 20% of all reports had a total claimed amount under $100. By consolidating expenses, you can help the university save money and receive your reimbursements more quickly. Here’s how:
- Bundle Your Expenses
Group costs into a single “themed” report (e.g., by trip, by month, or by purpose). Remember that you can allocate expenses to multiple funding sources within a single report, so there’s no need to submit separate reports for each. This eliminates redundant reviews, reducing administrative effort and speeding up reimbursements.
- Use Pcard or eShop for Non-Travel Purchases
Carleton’s eProcurement system, eShop, offers an extensive range of vendors with preferred pricing. Many goods and services can be purchased directly through eShop, simplifying the process and saving time.
Thank you for helping us be more efficient and for supporting the responsible use of university resources!
