Concur User Interface (UI) update

As of Sept. 6, 2022, Concur has been updated to the New User Interface.

The ASU Travel Office announced that Concur launched an updated User Interface (UI) that makes processing Requests and Expenses quicker and easier. The new UI includes a cleaner and streamlined change of layout, which will offer more intuitive and straightforward page navigation. We encourage everyone to review the instructional job aid, Old vs. New UI.

As always, for additional help with Concur, refer to the Traveler Resources page on the Travel Services page or contact MyASUTRIP@exchange.asu.edu.
 
Zoom Training will be available throughout September and October. Sign up here for training.

Reminders

  1. Please be sure that all travel are signed by the appropriate authorized travel official (ATO) for your unit. All department chair or director travels must be signed by the Dean's Office.
  2. If the hotel rate is over the maximum allowed rate, please provide documentation if it is a conference designated hotel. If it was not conference designated, please provide a justification for requesting a higher rate and send through VP for approval. However, there are exceptions; ATO's can approve hotel rates at the federal per diem amount. You must state that it is an approved federal rate on the travel documentation.
  3. Please note that the only travel expenses that can be paid directly by Pcard are airfare and registration. All other expenses must be paid directly by the traveler and reimbursed when the travel is completed. The Pcard should not be used to guarantee hotel rooms, even if the intent is to use another card for payment upon checkout.
