As part of aligning with SAP’s strategic direction to improve the Concur Administrator experience, we are modernizing the Administration UI for Expense, Invoice, and Request by transitioning to a scalable New User Interface architecture. The new architecture enables faster delivery of enhancements—accelerating innovation and ensuring a more consistent, seamless user experience across both the Professional and Standard editions.
Why is this change occurring?
With the updates and improvements to the existing Administration UI page for Expense, Invoice, and Request, SAP Concur hopes to provide customers with:
- Alignment to the latest technical and accessibility standards
- Streamlined UI experience across Professional and Standard editions
- A more modern, scalable, and user-friendly experience
- A flexible foundation that enables faster updates and improved integration with other SAP tools
- Improvements for easier customization
Latest Update: December 2025
- As of December, Admins can rearrange favorites. To do this, choose the Edit Favorites pencil icon and then drag and drop the favorites to your preferred order.
Previously Announced
- In November, a new "view" toggle became available for Configurations on the Spend Administration UI, allowing users to pick their preferred content layout. Also, the UI updates for Spend Administration noted on this page became available for SAP Concur Cloud for Public Sector customers.
- In September, the new Admin UI became the default experience. Users are still able to switch back to the old experience via the “Switch Back” button at the top. The opt-out option will be removed, and the new interface will become mandatory in Q1 2026.
- In August, the following features became available in the New Administration UI for Expense, Invoice, and Request.
- Quick Actions — focused flows that reduce the number of steps and screens needed to complete routine tasks, saving time and boosting productivity. Two quick actions are included in the August release:
- Update Default Approver — allows admins to quickly search for a user and update their default approver
- Deactivate User — allows admins to quickly search for users to deactivate their profiles
- Note: More Quick Actions will be added in upcoming releases.
- Side Navigation — a collapsible navigation panel to the left of the screen, grouping all configuration links for easier navigation
- Note: More Quick Actions will be added in upcoming releases.
In July, we introduced the first phase of the new Administration UI for Expense, Invoice, and Request. Features included:
- A search bar on the Admin page
- Ability for each admin to set and manage their own favorites for quicker access to commonly used items
- Opt-in/opt-out option for the new interface, along with a survey to capture user feedback
