Concur Travel Tool
(through World Travel)
Concur Travel Tool for travel booking,
approval, and fulfillment
Concur Expense
Management
Concur Expense Management for expense
report submission and approval
Concur Pay
Concur Pay for travel
payment/reimbursement
All T&E expenses for faculty, staff and students will be processed electronically through the TEM System. Reimbursement
will be handled by Concur via direct payment to credit card provider and direct deposit to employee (or Paycard).
Guest Travel: Air travel can be booked using the Concur Travel Tool for guests such as consultants, speakers, visiting
faculty, and faculty or admissions recruits, with the expense being charged directly to the university. Reimbursement for
their other travel expenses incurred by guests will continue to be a manual process, as it is today.

Travel Tips and Booking
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use Concur on-line or World Travel to book your air, hotel, rental car to
automatically get Penn negotiated rates.
Book airfare with Concur on-line or World Travel to have it automatically charged
to a central university account (BTA) – it does not go on an expense report.
Always carry your ID, passport, visa, and reservation documents on your person,
not in your checked baggage (put a folded copy in your luggage)
If you are traveling internationally, register with GAR and check if you need a
“visa” or shots.
Use the Penn Travel Card for hotel, rental car, trains, meals . . . to reduce out-ofpocket expenses and simplify payment. Transaction feeds into Concur, drag onto
an expense report, and upon approval of the expense report, I will pay the credit
card on your behalf. (Yes – you still need receipts)
Activate eReceipts in your Concur profile
If you will be renting a car in the next 3 years – take Fundamentals of Driver Safety
Course in Knowledge Link to protect yourself and your budget.
Keep World Travel’s 24/7 phone number handy while traveling

 Full integration into electronic expense
reporting
 Penn branded
 Sarah Grady or Maureen McGinness should
be selected as the “Approver” for all Bank of
America applications, not Business

AMEX Card Changes
 While we strongly encourage users to convert to the BOA Travel
Card, the American Express card will still be active for users but
MUST have charges imported into Concur so that they can be
paid directly by the University on behalf of the user.
 American Express cardholders who wish to keep their cards for
special reasons may do so by notifying the Travel Card
Administration at CardAdm@exchange.upenn.edu to have card
transactions integrated with Concur.
 A waiver form must be signed to authorize Penn to import
charges from AMEX, pay the card on traveler’s behalf, and utilize
payroll deduction for payment of card balances that are more
than 120 days past due.

The email notifications occur – for Expense Delegates (not related to approvers):
• Upon extraction for payment (this occurs when all approvals have been completed)
• Upon payment
• If an expense report is rejected by an default reviewer or any approver.
• If Penn Travel Card transactions have been sitting in an unsubmitted state for over 30/60/90 days (This is a reminder to put
them on an expense report and submit them, so that they can be approved and then paid on their behalf)
The email notifications occur – for Expense Delegates (related to approvers):
• When an expense report has entered the approvers queue, waiting to be approved
• Note: a person must be an approver somewhere in the system in order to be able to be selected as a delegate approver for
someone else

Sales Tax
•
The Penn Travel Card or personal funds should only be used for expenses incurred while traveling or entertaining
on behalf of the University. It is important to utilize the appropriate purchasing methods and to use a purchase
order or the P-card whenever possible to ensure the University is not being charged sales tax unnecessarily.
•
All purchases made using the Penn Travel Card or personal funds will be charged sales tax. If an individual
purchases commodities with personal funds or the Penn Travel Card that the University would be able to purchase
through the appropriate purchasing method tax-free, they will be responsible for paying the sales tax portion of
the purchase themselves. In these cases, the tax portion of the expense should be marked with the "NonReimbursable" Concur Expense Type and the traveler should remit this portion of the payment directly to Bank
of America.
•
With the exemption of essential items purchased while traveling on University business (e.g. a traveler purchasing
a laptop battery if theirs dies), tax should NOT be reimbursed on the following Concur Expense Types:
–
–

What is the Expense Report Approval Process?
How will non-employees be reimbursed for travel expenses?
Once live in Concur, the Wharton T&E
website will be redesigned to accommodate
non-employee travel expenses!
• The process will remain the same for
preparing and approving forms as you
have done in the past.
• Non-Employee travelers will have to
provide a signed cover sheet (Whartonprovided or the travelers owned signed
summary)
• Step 3 (payee approval) will appear as a
verification that the preparer is attaching
a signed signature document:
• Access to functionality for
accommodating reimbursements for
faculty, staff and students will be inactive
Thoughts on
the form??
Helpful Hints & Announcements
•
BOA card activation code = First four digits of your Penn ID + your zip code (i.e. 100719454)
•
There are default credit limits on the BOA card. If a traveler needs their limit increased, they
can email CardAdm@exchange.upenn.edu with appropriate justification and approval from
F&A.
•
If you prepare reimbursements for faculty or staff in other departments, you need to be set
up as a delegate for those individuals.
•
For expenses related to Faculty-Student Meals, please use “070-0744-1-010703-1524-Faculty
Member’s CREF” as the budget code, so the expenses will be routed to Victoria McManus for
approval.
•
There is a form in development to give Unique Advantage personnel the ability to prepare
travel reimbursements on behalf of others.
•
If using more than one “Travel Type” on a given expense reimbursement, use the farthest
type at the header line (i.e. if both internal and domestic, use international at the header
line)
–
Can adjust the “Travel Type” on the individual expense lines to allocate the expense to the
appropriate object codes.
Next Steps
• Try it out!
• Ask questions??
• Interest in further trainings and/or brown
bags?
