    All Travel must be in compliance with Travel Guidelines – see Travel Services

    Travel Guidelines require that all travel is pre-approved. A Request must first be completed and

    approved in Concur. To complete the Request you need to estimate expenses for your travel and

    enter into the fields in the online form. Reservations can then be booked either through the Concur

    booking tool or agent direct with Traveline. The use of Traveline in most instances is mandatory.

    After the trip has occurred, an Expense Report must be completed in order to reimburse the traveler

    for any expenses or reconcile any Cash Advances or TravelCard charges.

    Authorization forms for Concur access for students and staff (not already in Concur) are located on

    the Travel Services website.

    There are many Concur guides and videos that are excellent tools for learning how to use the CT&E

    system and are available once you login to the application. This document summarizes and clarifies

    some procedures which may be unique to YSU. Concur videos can be viewed by clicking the “Help”

    button at the top right-hand corner of the Concur screen. There is also a list of videos following the

    Table of Contents. CT&E Travel Tips are short snippets to address common issues and are posted on

    the Travel Services website.

    1. Creating a new Travel Request

    Keep in mind that the Request is your permission to travel, documentation of your

    destination, business purpose, dates of your travel, and your estimated expenses.

    These are not your actual expenses and a reimbursement will not be generated from a

    Request and no budget is encumbered or charged. If you request and receive a cash

    advance, this is the same as taking a loan from YSU which you must account for or

    repay. When you file your Expense Report, you will account for the actual expenses that

    the cash advance was used for and the loan will be zeroed out. If you need to return

    any excess cash advance, please use the deposit slip on the Travel Services website.

    Logon to the YSU Portal. Click on the “Concur” link on the left-hand side of the page

    under eServices for Faculty and Staff. You will be on the My Concur home page.

    Click on “+ Start a Request” button to begin a new Request or click on “Requests” at the

    top of the screen and click on the “Create New” and choose “New Request”.

  • Page 4 of 36 Revised 08/31/2015

    2. Completing the Request Header

    The Request header screen opens up. Complete the Request Name by entering the

    location and date of trip. This information will carry to your Expense Report and the

    first 27 characters will appear on your check stub or direct deposit notice.

    Enter the start date and end date of your trip.

    Enter the business purpose. This will carry throughout your report.

    Choose the account code for your travel from the drop-down. On the allocation screen

    – different FOAPs may be chosen on the same report (See section 3).

    If you have a conference registration fee over $100 to prepay or are traveling with a

    student group, you may complete the cash advance amount. Add a cash advance

    comment of what the cash advance will be used for.

    Click “Save”.

    Screen shot of Request Header

    3. Completing the Expenses tab

    Once you Save the Request, you will be taken to the Expenses tab. If you exited the

    report after saving and are going back in, click on the Expenses tab.

    Choose the expense type such as hotel, airfare, fixed meals etc. to enter your estimated

    expenses. Enter the information required as indicated by the red bar.

    Use the first day of travel for the transaction date and enter the total amount for that

    expense type – especially fixed meals. Do not put an estimate for each day. Only enter

    amounts that YSU will reimburse – i.e. if you have a limit of $1,100 – only enter

    estimated expenses up to $1,100.

    If you request a cash advance for a conference fee, you must enter an estimated

    expense for the conference fee under the Expenses tab and attach a copy of the

    Registration form under the Attachments drop-down menu.

    4. Allocating the Request to different FOAPs (if needed)

    Requests do not encumber any monies or charge any budget but you may need to show

    the different FOAPs on your Request. On the Request, expenses have to be allocated as

    a group. (On the Expense Report, they can be allocated individually).

    Click on any one of the estimated expenses to move it to the right pane.

    Click on the “Allocate button” in the bottom right corner.

    This will take you to the allocations screen and all expenses will be checked. On a

    Request you can allocate by percentage or amount but the allocation will apply across

    all estimated expenses.

    Click on the “Allocate by” and choose either percentage or amount.

    Enter the dollar amount or the percentage amount in the first box.

    You can change the FOAP by slowly typing over the fund, organization, or program code.

    When the new code appears, click on it to choose it.

    If the amount in the amount box is not for the full amount, a new allocation box should

    appear, if it does not click on the “Add New Allocation” button.

    Once the allocations are completed. Click “Save” to return to Expenses screen.

    Attachments by clicking on the Attachments drop-down, Print/Email to view a Report

    copy of your Request, Delete Request, or Submit Request.

    You must press the Submit Request button in order to put your Request in the approval

    queue for your approver.

    Requests only require your assigned approver’s approval. They do not route to Travel

    Services for review and approval.

    6. Booking travel reservations

    You must have an approved travel Request prior to booking any reservations for your

    trip. Make sure you know your Request ID prior to beginning the booking process of

    your reservation. You can find this ID on your printed report or beside the Request

    Name in your Active Requests.

    Screen shot of Request ID

    Once you are logged into Concur, the booking tool is down the left-hand side of the

    screen or you can choose the Travel at the top of the screen.

    Screen shot of Trip Search

    You will need to choose if the travel is grant or non-grant funded from the orange drop-

    down menu at the top.

    Click on the flight, car, hotel, or taxi tabs. You can start with flight and once you search

    and choose your flight, it will ask you if you need a hotel, car, taxi, etc.

    Search and choose your flights, hotel, car, taxi, etc.

    On the reservation screen you will enter your Request ID# - in the example above it

    would be 36HN and the FOAP.

    Make sure you complete all screens to the end of the reservation process and actually

    book the reservations.

    Airline tickets can be paid either by the Travel Card or the YSU campus ghost card.

  • Page 9 of 36 Revised 08/31/2015

    Hotels can be paid either by the Travel Card or the traveler’s personal credit card which

    then will be reimbursed.

    Enterprise car rentals booked through the booking tool are paid for on the YSU ghost

    card. If the traveler has a YSU TravelCard, reservations can still be made through the

    Enterprise portal.

    Once your trip is booked – you will be able to see your reservations at the bottom of the

    booking tool under My Trips. If you click on the trip, it will take you to the Trip Library

    7. Completing the Expense Report/Report Header

    Remember, within 30 days of your return from travel, you must complete the Expense

    Report if you have reimbursable expenses, TravelCard expenses or received a cash

    advance for this travel. If you use a TravelCard, wait until all charges related to the trip

    appear in Concur. This may take 3 to 5 days after the expense is placed on the card due

    to merchant processing. You will need to apply the TravelCard charges to the Expense

    Report to reconcile back to your budget.

    Logon to Concur.

    Click on “Requests”. Since the Request is approved, you will see the word “Expense”

    under the Action column on the right.

    Expense Report will be charged to. You can change the FOP by slowly typing over the

    fund, organization, or program code. When the new code appears, click on it to choose

    it.

    The Request that the Expense Report is tied to will appear at the bottom of the screen.

    20. Submitting an Expense Report

    Make sure all expenses are correct and receipts are attached.

    You must clear any red warnings that show as red exclamation marks before you can

    submit your report.

    Yellow warnings are cautions. The report can be submitted with yellow warnings.

    However, if yellow warnings are something that must be corrected (such as limited

    mileage or attaching receipts) before the report can be processed, the report will be

    returned to the traveler for correction which will delay the reimbursement.

    The warning symbol shows beside the expense report and the reason is listed under the

    exceptions in the middle of the screen.

    Correct any red warnings or yellow warnings that require attention.

    Once the report is free from red warnings, click the “Submit Report” button in the

    upper right-hand corner.
