What is Concur?
UMass Chan is transitioning to Concur to manage business and travel expenses. Within the Concur Expense module, bank card transactions and out-of-pocket purchases can be submitted with receipts for reimbursement through an expense report. The Concur Request module allows users to submit requests for Pre-Travel Authorization as well as Prior-Approval and Expense Exceptions for items out of policy.
Concur will replace Terra Dotta, PeopleSoft Expense Module submission for out-of-pocket reimbursement and the current bankcard process for submitting documentation via Buyways and allocation of expenses in PeopleSoft.
The new University Travel Policy, University Travel Policy and associated standards, requires all University Travel, both domestic and international, be registered in the University Travel Registry. Please note: failing to register your Travel may impact expense reimbursement eligibility. With our new Concur platform and Healix Travel Registry, University travel must be registered after travel is approved and booked. Please see the section on Before Departure to learn more about how to register your University Travel.
Additional information can be found on the UMass Chan International Travel page
