Hi there. Concur Invoice Manager is well organized way to quickly see where in approval process something is stuck- has it been captured, assigned, submitted, partially approved or fully approved, all on a single page.
Concur expense is garbage. You have to type in % in the search field, and if you use custom approval routing, the approval status field is largely useless just saying 'pending cost object approval.' In order to figure out which approver(s) have not approved a given expense report, you have to manually click on each report, go to approval flow, go to details, and expand the view to see who has or has not approved. At the end of the day, these are all values in columns. That means there is a way to update the list on first page to include the approval flow value of approver it is stuck at!
If Concur expense in processor could mimic the Invoice page, you could see which expense reports are in progress but not submitted yet, which have been submitted but still requiring approval, and which are fully approved. This would save lots of clicking and hours of work over time.
