Unable to submit an expense report

[johnwick1201]

I had a post previously on this forum where I explained my situation but I am unable to reply to it so I created this new post.

I created an expense request and got it approved from my department. The flight booking alone was done through the company card. I went on the trip and came back and filled out all MY expenses on a expense report which I linked to the approved expense request and submitted it (the report was approved and the reimbursement hit my account as well).

However, I was told by my department that I also need to account for the flight costs in my report (they show up as an "expense" in concur). Since I had not done that before, I created a new expense report, added the flight expense, and mentioned very clearly in the comments that I was trying to append this report to the previous one (and I gave all the required report numbers and supporting information). 

The issue is, I am unable to submit this report since concur keeps flagging me saying that I need to link an approved request to this report. The problem is, ever since I submitted my first report (linked to the approved request), I am unable to link any other report to the same request.

How can I resolve this issue and submit my additional report in order to account for the flight charges from my company's card?

@johnwick1201 have you tried creating a new travel request for this airfare expense? That is where I would first begin. Unless your company has a rule in place that prevents two requests with the same travel dates, you should be good to create a new request, get it submitted, approved and then assign it to the current report that has the Airfare expense on it. 

Give that a try and see if it allows you to create and submit the new travel request.
