Can I download receipts in bulk using a query in SAP Concur?

[andrew56]

I have to download each receipt from each transaction as I go through more than 200 expense reports each month. Sometimes I have to work on this for several days.

Is it possible for me to automate this procedure? When I contacted their support team, the only thing they offered was an export of all of our receipt history (since we started using Concur). At my position, I can't be the only one who frequently needs to do this, can I?

Concur is not an internally created product; rather, SAP acquired it. As a result, the technological platforms are distinct and not accessible via SAP GUI. Concur does provide APIs, but an internal developer or IT professional could only use them if your company paid for access.

Concur does provide a service known as an Image Delivery Extract that would send extracted expense reports or invoices together with their associated receipt photos via your business's sFTP site. However, end users cannot use IDE or sFTP since they are managed by the firm administration. To my understanding, the procedure you're presently employing would be required for someone who wanted to download their own photographs.

It's probable that this isn't something that is done frequently because there is a question of a similar nature in the community that has no helpful replies. (https://community.concur.com/t5/Concur-Expense/Does-anyone-know-how-to-download-expense-receipts-via...)

I apologize for not being able to be of more assistance, but I do hope that the explanation is at least somewhat useful.

Hi, I've similar situation whereby we need to download printed reports with receipts. It is time consuming when we need to download high volume of the reports. I've put up improvement request for this & hope Concur can create this feature. Kindly help to vote please: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/idea/320679

@liumh - I have just voted. If you haven't already, I would recommend making a post with the link to vote, you may get a bit more traction. I like this idea and we have recently had a request for this type of functionality by Romania.
