How to Assign Myself as a Default Attendee on Meal Entries for Self?

[rcadenhe]

Is there an option for assigning myself as a default attendee for all meals, and especially for meals that I select "Self" as the option in the Self/Group entry? It seems like an unnecessary extra step to always have to add myself as an attendee when 100% of the time I am present for the meal if my card was used, especially if it could recognize that I've already selected it as a "Self" meal.

Hi,

You can set Attendee Self as the default attendee for meal entries. This can be configured by the Concur Administrator under the relevant expense type by selecting the option Include user as an attendee by default.

Please reach out to your local Concur Administrator to make the necessary changes

If this answers your query, then please mark solution as accepted.

@rcadenhe I agree with @Meena_K that your company should set this up so that you are automatically added as an attendee. It is a super easy setting to change. You will need to get in touch with your site admins. These people are usually found in either the Finance, Accounting, HR or Payroll departments.

Thanks Meena!

Great to hear it is a very simple fix. I'm having a bit of trouble tracking down my local admin (seems like it might be a ticket with out company IT group), but I'm looking forward to the improved efficiency once I figure it out!
