What is SAP Concur

SAP Concur is a travel and expense (T&E) management platform that supports corporate travel booking, expense capture, and reimbursement workflows, with optional invoice processing capabilities. It is used by finance, procurement, and travel teams to enforce policy, improve spend visibility, and streamline employee expense reporting. The product combines mobile receipt capture, policy controls, and integrations with ERP/accounting systems and travel suppliers.

pros

Broad T&E workflow coverage

The platform covers end-to-end T&E processes including travel booking, itinerary management, expense reporting, approvals, and reimbursement. It supports policy rules and audit checks to help standardize compliance across business units. This breadth reduces the need to stitch together separate tools for booking and expense reporting.

Large integration ecosystem

SAP Concur provides integrations and connectors for common ERP/accounting systems, HR/identity providers, and travel suppliers. It also supports corporate card feeds and expense data exchange with downstream finance systems. These integration options can reduce manual re-entry and improve reconciliation when implemented and maintained properly.

Mobile receipt capture and OCR

The mobile app supports receipt capture and automated extraction of key fields to speed up expense creation. Users can submit expenses on the go, and approvers can review and act on requests from mobile devices. This can improve timeliness of submissions and reduce reliance on paper receipts.

cons

Implementation and admin complexity

Configuring policies, approval routing, expense types, and integrations typically requires careful design and ongoing administration. Organizations with complex entities, tax rules, or regional requirements may need additional consulting and extended rollout timelines. Changes to policies and workflows can require coordinated testing to avoid downstream reporting and reimbursement issues.

User experience varies by workflow

User experience can be inconsistent across travel booking, expense reporting, and invoice-related modules, especially when multiple configurations or legacy components are involved. Employees may encounter friction when policy rules, itemization, or exception handling is strict or unclear. Training and change management are often needed to achieve consistent adoption.

Costs scale with usage and modules

Total cost can increase as organizations add modules (e.g., invoice processing), expand to more countries, or grow transaction volume. Additional fees may apply for implementation services, premium integrations, or advanced reporting depending on contract structure. This can make budgeting less predictable compared with simpler, single-purpose expense tools.
