SAP Concur
The University of Alabama has adopted SAP Concur as our travel and expense management system. Concur will be our primary system for making travel reservations, reconciling non-travel P-Card transactions, submitting travel expense reports, processing payments for non-UA individuals, and payment of vendor invoices.

How do I Request Access to Concur?
The purpose of the Concur-P-Card User Access Request Form is to request (1) access to Concur, (2) a UA P-Card, and/or (3) a Concur Supervisor update. The form can be completed by a UA employee or by an employee’s delegate.
Once completed and submitted, the form will be routed to an org approver, who will review and approve all requests for access, P-Cards, and supervisor updates submitted through the form.
References
It is the responsibility of the cardholder to ensure that all transactions are reconciled, submitted, approved by all approvers (Supervisor and Budgetary approvers and Contract and Grant or Financial Accounting, if needed) and received in the queue of Procurement Services by 5 pm on the 25th of the month following the cycle end date. Sometimes, this date falls on a weekend holiday or needs to be extended or moved up. Below, you will find the due date for P-Card transactions for each cycle.
