Weekly Ticket as a New Expense

[WernerSchulz]

There seems to be no concept of a weekly ticket in the expenses. Weekly tickets are useful in public transport claims. The field "Number of Tickets" is not the same since there is one ticket but valid for several days.

Reason why I bring this up is that there are typically limits on public transport tickets, which causes weekly tickets to be flagged against those limits. A Weekly Ticket (or some form of multi-day ticket) would solve this problem.

@WernerSchulz The Number of Tickets field you mention is not an out of the box field, but a custom field created specifically by your company. I recommend bringing this up to your direct manager to see if you can provide this feedback to your company's SAP Concur site administrators.

@KevinD - thanks for the information. I will contact my admins.

Do you have the ability to itemize it by day?  That might be something that shows the use pattern.  Otherwise a comment that it is a weekly pass could work.

[WernerSchulz]

A weekly ticket is a single price and there is no itemisation possible. The problem is with the business logic behind the custom field. They probably forgot the use case of a multi-day ticket, which is actually quite common in many European cities' public transport. I assume that the amount is divided by the "Number of Tickets (default: 1)  and then checked against company limits. Changing the name of the field to allow for days would clarify things easily. But that's now a problem with my admin team.
