Concur

SAP Concur describes itself as spend management software for travel, expense and invoice, with AI-powered tools intended to unify data and simplify work. It is not automotive-specific, and is listed here because dealer groups use travel and expense management.

Three modules with different accounting handoffs

SAP Concur separates Expense, Travel and Invoice. Expense captures receipts and expense reports; Travel handles bookings and connects with travel-management companies and distribution systems; Invoice handles supplier accounts payable. concur.com

Those are separate processes even when the group wants one view of spending. A dealership can compare the modules by the record each must produce: an employee reimbursement, a travel booking or an approved supplier bill. concur.com

The accounting connection should be specified for those records and the relevant legal entity. concur.com
