Manually adding new cost center (cost object) in Concur

anna_sz · ‎Jan 7, 2026

I was tasked by my manager to manually create a new cost center for cost object owner approvals testing, and I can't find an option to do that.

Is that impossible, and new cost objects can be added only with data load from SAP, or is it matter of lacking permissions?

If it's matter of permissions, what is this permission needed and where do I find the option after permission is assigned?

@anna_sz new cost centers would be added using the List Management option. You would need either the Expense Configuration Administrator (restricted) or the Shared Configuration Administrator (restricted role).

Once the appropriate role is added, you would go to the Expense Admin screen and select List Management. Look for a list named Cost Centers. I'm guessing that is the list name. I've provided a screenshot showing how to get to the Expense Admin screen.

Thank you,

Hello
Thank you, found it, although it was listed as "SAP Integration Hierarchy" in our system - adding that in case someone has it similar.
