Hi @Corey10e ,
Can you try below:
1. Create Cognos custom report in Concur. You may take someone's help who has Concur Reporting access and ask them to build this report as below. It will give you Expense type wise expense type code available in Concur system.
Sample screenshot:
2. Now using API try to get expense type wise Expense type code and compare both codes (fetched through Concur reporting and API) are matching or not. If both are matching, then try to pass same code through API and check whether your error gets resolved.
If not matching, then you will get same error.
Additional information for your reference that I searched on chatgpt:
The error message "ExpenseTypeCode - Invalid pet code" in the Concur Invoice API typically indicates that the ExpenseTypeCode being passed in the API request is not valid or not recognized by the system. This can happen when the code provided for the ExpenseType is incorrect, misspelled, or does not match any existing values in the system.
Here’s how you can address and resolve this issue:
1. Verify the ExpenseTypeCode:
- Ensure the ExpenseTypeCode you're using is correct. These codes are predefined in your Concur instance and must match the exact values in the system.
- Check that the ExpenseTypeCode is not misspelled or malformed.
If you're using a PET (Predefined Expense Type) code, verify that it is a valid code in the Concur setup.
2. Fetch Available Expense Types:
If you're unsure of the correct code or want to retrieve a list of valid ExpenseTypeCodes, you can use the Expense Type API to get a list of available expense types and their codes.
For Concur, the relevant API call would be:
GET /expense/types
This will return all the available expense types, along with their associated codes, which you can then use when creating or updating invoices.
3. Check the Configuration:
- Sometimes, custom expense types or expense codes might be configured in your Concur instance.
- If your instance has been customized or includes specific configurations, you may need to reference the custom codes for ExpenseTypeCode. These custom codes should be documented by your system administrators or in your Concur instance configuration.
4. Correct the Request:
Once you have the valid ExpenseTypeCode, ensure you pass the correct code in your API request.
Example (correct ExpenseTypeCode😞
{
"expenseTypeCode": "RENTAL_CAR" // This should be a valid, recognized code
}5. Check the API Documentation:
- Refer to the latest version of the Concur Invoice API documentation for details on valid expense types and their codes.
- You can find the ExpenseTypeCode and other relevant data definitions in the official documentation: Concur Invoice API Documentation.
6. Debugging:
- If you're working with dynamic data or integrating with other systems, it’s essential to ensure that the data is being passed correctly and that the ExpenseTypeCode field is populated correctly before making the API call.
Example Request with Valid ExpenseTypeCode:
Here’s an example of how you might structure the API call to create or update an invoice with the correct ExpenseTypeCode:
{
"invoiceNumber": "123456",
"expenseTypeCode": "RENTAL_CAR", // Make sure this is valid in your system
"amount": 200.0,
"description": "Rental car for business trip"
}Conclusion:
- Error: "ExpenseTypeCode - Invalid pet code" typically happens when the ExpenseTypeCode is not valid. Verify the valid codes in your Concur system and ensure you're using the correct one.
- Use the GET /expense/types API call to retrieve the valid codes if you're unsure.
- Ensure that you have the proper configuration and check if there are any custom codes set up in your system.
If the issue persists, it may be useful to contact your SAP Concur support team to verify the correct codes and configurations.
Let me know if it works for you.
