Welcome, SAP Concur Administrator

As an SAP Concur Administrator, you’re responsible for overseeing your organization’s travel and expense program—and that includes serving as an Authorized Support Contact (ASC). This critical role, assigned to a select group of 2–5 individuals, gives you enhanced access to SAP Concur support and resources. As an ASC, you’ll interact directly with our support team, manage key configurations, and serve as the go-to expert for your users.

This page is your central hub for onboarding tools, product training, documentation, and ASC-specific guidance—everything you need to succeed in your dual role. We’re here to help you every step of the way.

 

 

 

 

 

What is an ASC?

An Authorized Support Contact (ASC) is a crucial role within your organization, serving as the primary liaison between your company and SAP Concur Support. ASCs are responsible for managing support cases, providing user training, and ensuring that your organization gets the most out of its SAP Concur products.

How did I become an ASC?

ASCs are nominated by their company during the implementation stage and assigned when handed off to support. If you've been designated as an ASC, it's because your organization trusts your abilities and believes you can excel in this vital role.

 

 

 

 

Responsibilities of an ASC

Product Knowledge:  Staying up to date with SAP Concur products and features to effectively support users and drive adoption.

 

Stakeholder Management:  Communicating with internal stakeholders (users, managers, executives) and external stakeholders (SAP Concur Support) to address concerns, provide updates, and gather feedback.

 

Billing Administration: Handling billing-related inquiries, understanding contract details, and collaborating with relevant teams to address billing issues.

 

End-User Training and Support:  Providing training to end users, facilitating the onboarding process, and ensuring that users have the knowledge and resources they need to use SAP Concur products effectively.

Financial Accuracy:  Competent billing administration ensures accurate billing and helps prevent financial discrepancies.

 

User Empowerment:  Adequate user training and support empower users to utilize SAP Concur effectively, enhancing overall productivity and satisfaction.

 

 

 

To succeed as an ASC, take advantage of the resources provided here, stay engaged with the ASC community, and don't hesitate to reach out to SAP Concur Support for assistance when needed.

ASC List Maintenance 

Keeping the ASC list limited and up to date is critical for security and compliance. It also helps streamline user management and support processes. ASCs are permitted to request site changes, so only trusted users should have this role. 

 

Offboarding an ASC

To keep the ASC contact details up to date, it is important to properly offboard an ASC if they have changed responsibilities. This will ensure effective communication with the Support Organization and reduce any potential security issues in the future. Here is a summary of what is required. If you need more help, please don't hesitate to submit a support case.
