Two Cash Advances on one Expense Report?

[scoathy]

Has anyone identified a way to attach two cash advances on one expense report? Perhaps I'm simply missing it but when attempting to do so cannot make it happen.

We have instances where the travelers determine additional cash advance needs prior to the trip so must submit a 2nd cash advance for the same trip.

Our workaround so far is to create two expense reports and split the expenses accordingly so that we reconcile both cash advances but that is quite a headache and there is math involved. EEk! LOL

our setup is Request, Travel, Expense. Travel Booking and Expense report creation MUST be initiated from the fully approved Request.

Cheers!

@scoathy what you are asking can be done. However, this option must be turned on to allow it. It is done on the Group Configuration screen, which most people do not have access to. This would have to be a decision made by those at your company that are the SAP Concur site administrators. If no one at your company has access to update Group configurations, then a ticket to SAP Concur Support would need to be submitted. I don't know if you are a site administrator for your company or not. If you are, then you can submit the Support ticket. If you are not, then I think speaking to your direct manager about the possibility of getting this feature turned on would be the place to start.

Hi Kevin

We have the same problem, we can access the group config. Which configuration steps should we do to activate additional cash advance?

Thank you

@mustafayavuz happy to help. I wanted to add "Problem Solver Extraordinaire" to my signature, but was told I couldn't. 🙂
