Expense Report Header Fields When you create a new expense report, the Report Header page will open. The Report Header represents the cover page of your expense report. The descriptions can be general as all the detail documentation should be recorded at the detail transaction level. Complete all the required fields marked and click next when finished.

1. Report Name – General description of what your expense report represents. This name is your reference when you want to search for specific expense reports.

2. Report Key – Automatically populated when report is saved. This is a system generated reference number.

3. Start Date/End date – Dates this report covers.

4. Expense Purpose – This is a drop down menu that categorizes the purpose of the majority of your expenses for this report. Select the expense purpose that your expense report mostly covers. This will copy down to the individual transactions, but you will have the option to update this at the transaction level. The expense purpose is a key component that drives proper accounting, especially the case of travel type expenses. There are certain expense types that may be coded to multiple account codes such as airfare. Depending on the purpose of the airfare, it can be coded to athletic travel (7845), individual business travel (7840), student travel (7785), Westchester faculty research travel (7850), etc. Refer to the expense matrix worksheet located on bus.lmu.edu/concur -> Forms & Reference Materials.

5. Business purpose – Description of the business purpose of your expenses. This will copy down to the individual transactions. Please update the business purpose at the transaction level as necessary.

6. Reimbursement payment method – If this expense report contains out of pocket expenses that the University needs to reimburse you, select the method in which you would like to receive payment. If the report is all p-card transactions, leave the payment method at the default. If TPC is elected, payment will automatically be ACH if the employee signed up, otherwise a check will be mailed. All employees are encouraged to sign up for ACH with Accounts Payable (This is different from payroll direct

P-card Transactions All P-card transactions will automatically appear in Concur through a feed from JP Morgan (LMU’s P-card provider). Normally it takes about 2-3 days for a transaction to show up in Concur after the card has been charged. It may take longer, if the vendor is small and taking the charge slips to their bank manually. Unassigned p-card transactions will show in Available expenses.

P-card disputed charges

If a P-card charge is disputed (i.e. due to fraud), the credit for that charge will typically be transferred to Concur 2 months later. However, you may confirm that a refund will be received through the JP Morgan website, Paymentnet. Both the charge and the credit will still need to be processed on an expense report. Ideally, if you receive a credit back you should include the charge and credit in a single expense report. On the business purpose indicate that the transactions are disputed charges for which a refund is expected.


Expense Types

Hotel Expense (For individual travel only. If the bill is for group travel, use the group lodging expense type.)

A hotel bill typically contains a variety of expenses including room fees, taxes, parking, meals, valet, telephone charges, and personal items. These expenses must be itemized so that they can be accounted for correctly. Lodging Itemization allows you to quickly itemize room rates and taxes, which are the same for each night of your stay. You can then itemize the remaining charges on your hotel bill.

To create a lodging expense:

2. On the New Expense tab, select the Hotel expense type. The page refreshes, displaying the required and optional fields for the selected expense type. Note that this expense type is for individual travel only. If this is for group travel (i.e. bill is for multiple rooms for a group, use the Group Lodging expense type.

3. Complete the fields.

3. Click Itemize. The expense appears on the left side of the page; the Nightly Lodging Expenses pane appears on the right side of the page.

4. On the Nightly Lodging Expenses tab, use the calendar to select the check-in/out dates. The number of nights appears automatically.


5. Enter the room rate, tax, and other recurring charges.

6. Click Save Itemizations.

7. If there is a remaining amount to be itemized (other charges, for example, for room service), the remaining amount is displayed in the Remaining field on the right side of the New Itemization pane. Complete the normal steps to itemize the remainder of the expense.

*Tip – If there is a remaining balance to be itemized due to rounding, you can adjust a single itemized entry amount for the rounding. On the left pane, select an itemized entry (i.e. Hotel) and adjust the amount for rounding.

Hotel Deposits – For deposits on a hotel room for individual travel, you can use this expense type. Put the number of nights as 1 and the deposit amount as the rate. Include in the business purpose that this expense is a hotel deposit, dates of stay and purpose of travel. You may use the comments box if needed.


Airfare

Domestic Air Travel - Travelers are expected to book the lowest-priced, nonstop coach class airfare available. Business class and first class domestic travel will not be reimbursed unless approved by the President, Provost, SVP or Academic Dean with an explanation explaining the medical reasons or extenuating circumstances that require such travel. An upgrade at the expense of the University is not permitted.

International Air Travel – When travelling to and from destinations outside North America, business class airfare is allowed. Business class airfare is allowed for trips to Canada or Mexico only if direct travel exceeds seven hours. A request for purchase of business ness class ticket needs to be approved by the President, Provost, SVP or Academic Dean. First class travel is prohibited for all destinations unless approved by the President, Provost, SVP or Academic Dean with an explanation of the medical reasons or extenuating circumstances that require first class travel.

Add attendees from a calendar invite The system can be configured to allow users and their delegates to import attendees from a calendar invitation email sent to Concur. A user can include the [email protected] email as a meeting participant, or a user or delegate with a verified email address can forward an Outlook


meeting invitation email (with .ics file) to [email protected]. Concur will then create an expense with an attendee list based on the meeting participants, which appears in Available Expenses. The user can associate the expense to an expense report and enter additional information about the meeting, including adding more attendees if necessary.

NOTE: If the list of participants visible in the meeting is showing a distribution list rather than named individuals, then Concur will only receive the distribution list as an attendee. The individuals in the list will not be created as attendees.

There are two methods the employee can use to bring the calendar invite attendees into Concur:

• Including Concur as an attendee (Recommended)

• Forwarding the calendar invite to Concur

Including Concur as an Attendee (Recommended)

The user creates the meeting in Outlook, including [email protected] as an attendee. The original meeting invitation and any updates will be sent to Concur. If the information is not yet added to an expense (is still available) then Concur will update the information each time a new email update is received. If the user adds [email protected] as a participant at a later date, the user needs to send the update to all participants rather than just to those that have been added.

Forwarding the Calendar Invite to Concur

The event organizer or a participant can also send the meeting (as an .ics file) to [email protected], from a verified email address.

Outlook on PC

The user can open the meeting in Outlook, then click Forward > Forward as iCalendar.

Outlook on Mac

The user can drag and drop the meeting from the Outlook calendar to the attachment field in a new email. Outlook will attach the .ics file to the email. The user can then send the email to [email protected].

Delegate Functionality

A user's delegate can send the calendar email to Concur on behalf of the user. The delegate and the user they are delegating for must both have verified email addresses in Concur. The delegate attaches the .ics file to the email using the methods described above, and includes the delegator's email address in the email's Subject: line.

The delegate cannot enter multiple email addresses on the subject line. The delegate must send a single email for each calendar invitation they will add to the system for each employee they are assisting.

Adding the Calendar Expense to a Report


Concur creates the meeting as an expense with the attendees listed, which appears in the Available Expenses section of the Expense page. The Subject: line of the email will appear in the Expense Detail column. If the email subject is blank, Concur will set the Expense Detail to Business Meals – Meetings.

NOTE: While the calendar expense is in the Available Expenses list, Concur will update it if any updated emails about the meeting are received. Once the calendar expense is added to the report, Concur will no longer update it.

To add a calendar expense with attendees to a report:

• The user can select the check box for the expense and click Move > To New Report to create a new report or Move > report name to add the expense to an existing report.

• The user can drag and drop the expense onto an existing report tile.

• The user can drag and drop the expense onto the Create new report tile.

Once the expense with attendees is added to a report, the user can add, remove, and edit the attendees as usual.

Per Diem Primarily related to Athletics. Per diems are granted in advance only in special circumstances, when a group of people (e.g. athletes) is traveling together on a University-related function The procedure is as follows: (1) obtain an advance for the total amount needed; (2) distribute the per diems to each traveler; (3) obtain the signature of those receiving the per diems on a log sheet and attach to the expense report.


Gift Cards

When giving gift cards, information about the recipient such as whom they are their relationship to LMU must be provided. You may use the attendee feature or attach a list of the recipients.


Cash Advance Return

If you have taken out a cash advance and have not used the entire amount, you must return the unused portion and use the Cash Advance Return expense type to fully account for a cash advance in one expense report. For example, if you have cash advance of 100 USD associated with an expense report that includes 90 USD in cash expenses, you would then process a cash advance return for the remaining 10 USD.
