Starting an Expense Report To begin, go to Expense > View Charges This will bring up all of your recent AMEX charges that have not been added to an expense report.

Coding Expenses Note: When you first bring in AMEX charges, you will see a lot of exceptions at the top. Ignore these until you have coded all of the expenses you brought in, as youll clear up most of the exceptions just by coding them. Go through each of the expenses by clicking on each expense listed on the left and completing anything that has a RED line in the box on the right-hand side. Many of these items are automatically completed for you for American Express charges. Once you have coded all of the AMEX charges, review any exceptions at the top of the report and do as instructed to clear them. Personal Expenses If an employee inadvertently uses the company American express for a non-business expense, please mark the box on expense that says Personal Expense (do not reimburse). This means that this amount will be deducted from either the expense reimbursement check or the employees bank account. Out of Pocket (Cash) Expenses Concur should also be used for any reimbursable business expenses that were paid from an employees personal funds. To add an out of pocket expense, create or open an expense report. Click New Expense and select the appropriate expense type. Check Totals To see the total reimbursement amount to be paid, go to Details>Totals Coding Several Expenses at Once[Time Saving Tip!] If you have several expenses with common fields (such as several Personal Fuel charges, or many expenses with the same business purpose or project number), use these instructions to speed up expense reporting!

Enter the Expense Type or Business Purpose from the list and click save. Attaching Receipts For more information about receipts, please see the Receipts section of this handbook.
