4. Once you create a new report, you can add items and add receipts to each item (if appropriate).
Any airline fare above a basic economy fare must be pre-approved by the president.
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES:
- All entries over $25 need to have a receipt (bank or credit card statements are not acceptable). If a receipt can not be provided (for everything except airfare and hotel) you must use the missing receipt affidavit, which can be found under the "receipts" drop-down on the top left side of the screen.
- All "transaction dates" should be entered as the date of purchase on your receipt, not the date of travel
- All entries need to be in the currency listed on the receipts and Concur will do the conversion. If there is a difference in conversion rates, please enter a separate line under "currency exchange fees" for the difference. (Note that for this entry, only a receipt is not needed, regardless of the amount)
5. Once all items have been added, you can submit the report.
6. After your submission, there will be three layers of approval in the process: one by ITSoc treasurer, two by ÌÇÐÄlogo, and another with a Concur auditor. If you would like to receive notifications at different stages, you can change your settings in your Profile.
