Travel Allowance Upgrade for Concur Expense

 

All customers are now required to upgrade to the new Travel Allowance Service to benefit from our automatically updated rate bundles and more.  

 

SAP Concur aims to provide our customers with simple, sustainable, user-friendly solutions for their expense and travel ecosystem needs. Our Travel Allowance feature has provided customers with the ability to support managing reimbursements to their travelers for expenses related to their travel allowances (also known as per diems). 

 

What’s new? 

 

SAP Concur has released an upgraded Travel Allowance Service as the go-forward solution, and all configurations must be upgraded by April 15, 2027.

 

Upgrades are now available for all legacy configurations. 

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE 

On January 1, 2027, SAP Concur will cease to support rate updates to existing legacy Travel Allowance configurations where the rates being updated have an effective date of January 1, 2027 or later. Customers who have not upgraded to the Travel Allowance Service will be responsible for managing rate accuracy manually, with no SAP Concur assistance. 

 

What’s in it for you?   

The upgraded Travel Allowance Service offers enhancements, including:

 

  • Centrally updating statutory rate bundles for 14 supported countries (eliminating the need to raise a ticket when supported statutory rates change)
  • A more intuitive and user-friendly user interface (UI) 
  • Seamless integrations into other SAP Concur and SAP modules 
  • More flexibility in configurations, providing greater scalability for innovation
