What is Concur?
Concur is WSU’s new travel and purchasing card (P card) management solution.
It provides a fully automated, end-to-end, customer-focused user experience.

Using Concur, managing receipts with be as simple as taking pictures with the Concur mobile app. Travel requests and booking will all be done in one, easy-to-use platform. These are just a couple examples of improvements that will happen using Concur.

How does Concur benefit the user?
The new platform will make P card accounting and business travel easier!
Concur provides:
- A mobile app (on your cell phone) for tracking travel and P card receipts.
- Pre-travel, travel booking and travel/P card expense reports — all within the app.
- Less paperwork.
- Simplified travel and expense policies.
- Increased per diem rates and mileage reimbursement.
Who is impacted by this change?
Everyone with a P card and all faculty, staff and students who travel with or for Weber State will use Concur.
Will new P cards be issued? How are purchased made?
You will continue to use your current P card as you always have.
Concur changes how P cards purchases are documented and reported, but not how P cards are used. For example, what we currently call “P card reconciling” will happen in the Concur platform automatically if all receipts have been properly uploaded and documented. Concur will generate an expense report that will then be submitted through the platform to you 1st level approver (your current reconciler).
The entire travel process, from travel request to booking to expense report, will be completed in Concur.
The overview presentation and training sessions will cover all of this more detail.
How do you access Concur?
Concur can be accessed online or through the mobile app. We will walk you through the entire process in the training sessions.
