Report or Transaction is Dated In Future

[jtlunn]

I am unable to submit a report because I get an error stating:  "The report or transaction is dated in the future.  Please remove the transaction or correct the date.  If the dates are correct, please wait 24 hours and resubmit."

I assume this has to do with a future expense that has already been charged to my credit card, however the transaction date is in the past.  I even changed the "date range" to the past and that didn't help.  I also waited 24 hours after making each change, and I still get the error.  Any advice?

@jtlunn I just looked up the rule causing the error. It is triggered by submitting the report. What that means is even if you make the changes and save, the error won't be reevaluated until you submit. Try submitting the report. It should go through. If not, let me know. In fact, let me know if it does go through as well.

Hi, Kevin.  I am not able to submit at all.  Please see the attached error that pops up when I try to submit the report:

I also see this error: 

But, I don't have any idea what expense is causing this error since nothing is flagged in the report itself.

@jtlunn this is a real head scratcher. I looked at the report and nothing is future dated. Now, the only other thing I can see is the message about saving your Travel Expense Payment Election in Workday. Have you done that? If so, then I'm not sure what the issue is.

You might need to create a new report and move all the transactions to the new report to see if that clears it up.

This was a super helpful response, @KevinD. I had a similar issue today and had gone round and round modifying the header dates and individual expense dates and couldn't get it to clear.  The rule in my company must also be triggered at expense report submittal.  When I resubmitted the report, it cleared.  Thank you!  🙂

@jtlunn Thanks for posting in the SAP Concur Community. I was able to review your report. I would assume that the hotel itemizations is causing the exception message, as the date on those itemized entries are February 2024. I would suggest reaching out to a Concur Administrator at your company to provide guidance in accordance with your internal policies. I will send you a Private Message with a contact.

@leedau The hotel itemization dates was the issue.  I went in and changed the dates to days prior to the transaction, and I was finally able to submit the report.  However, now those dates don't match up with what's on the receipt, so I'm sure it'll get flagged for that, but at least it resolved the issue of not being able to submit the report at all.
