Overall Satisfaction with SAP Concur

I support it a lot when I was with Roche RSS Malaysia. Was a Senior Analyst there and I was tasked with managing the users and any 2nd level and above issues that arose with it. We have a level 1 helpdesk team that deals with simpler issues such as password resets, how to use Concur etc.

Our team does a lot of configuration and enhancement requests for Concur related. When there are complicated issues that even our team can't resolve or know, we will log a ticket to Concur Support team (from SAP) that will help answer or assist us. It is usually a good experience working with them as they are usually very helpful. Concur is also very stable and rarely has down time or technical issues that are unforseen. Although it comes with a higher price tag but I feel it's worth it especially if it's for large companies that need to manage their travel and expense claims. Ease of use by users is a big plus for Concur.

Pros

  • ease of use
  • great Concur Support team that is available 24/7 globally
  • able to integrate with other apps such as Grab, Tibco, SAP

Cons

  • more trainings for Concur Support team members as I did met a few bad ones
  • to integrate with even more applications in the future
  • better integration with Hotels, Airports, etc to make claims more hassle free
  • increased transparency into expense and travel claims
  • great reporting that we can generate for accounts team to reconcile
  • many enhancements that can be enabled in Concur, such as changing certain fields, translations, integrations.
  • easier for employees to use, hence more claims are submitted by them. This is good for engagement.
- SAP : so that claims in concur are reflected inside SAP and searchable in FBL1N etc
- Tibco : For Concur to import and export data to and from SAP
- Grab : so that employees can feed in their Grab car receipts directly from the app to Concur
- Query and Report Studio : built into Concur reporting tool that helps to generate many great reports.
- enhancements : ease to change or add new features in Concur
- reporting : able to keep expand and improve the reports that are used by accounts team
- UI : Concur keeps improve their UI and takes feedback seriously
- Concur support : great team to go to when you have difficult questions or issues.
- UI : ease of submitting claims by employees.
- trackable : all their claims are easily trackable within Concur
- users can self reset password, self set others to manage their Concur when they are OOO, if they are approvers they can delegate their approval role to another manager or higher up.
- benefitted accounts and audit team greatly as we had sent them many customized reports based on their needs.

My Seniors were the ones who taught me about Concur.

Concur Support team has sent me training links and answered me in their tickets too. Usually they are helpful and knows their stuff.

There are times when webex meetings is conducted for reporting training. They were very patient and took down all the details from me.
all guides can be found here with video and PDF links: https://www.concurtraining.com/ I always refer to it. Very useful.
