Your business most likely handles a wealth of
expense data, from cost centers and sales
order items to reimbursements and
payments. With the analytics capability in
Concur solutions, all relevant data is located
in one tool. Plus, you can now retrieve details
from the SAP ERP and S/4HANA application
about the post-ing status of your expense
reports as well as the accounting document
ID of the financial posting created for each
report. You can also readily fix the root cause
of any posting errors, thus eliminating
manual correction processes.
Data-exchange-monitoring capability enables
you to monitor message exchanges between
Concur solutions and SAP software from
both the technical and business perspectives
while simplifying internal and external audits.

Simplified integration process monitoring

helps you efficiently identify and correct
financial posting errors and eliminate future
occurrences.
