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\u2019s how:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bundle Your Expenses<\/span><\/b>
    \nGroup costs into a single \u201cthemed\u201d 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\u2019s no need to submit separate reports for each. This eliminates redundant reviews, reducing administrative effort and speeding up reimbursements.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Use Pcard or eShop for Non-Travel Purchases<\/span><\/b>
      \nCarleton\u2019s 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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Thank you for helping us be more efficient and for supporting the responsible use of university resources!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
