Since our company switched Expenses systems from Xero<\/a> to Concur<\/a> a few months ago, I’ve been having a monthly rant about the amount of time it takes to submit an expense claim (typically 3-4 hours a month).<\/p>\n

\"\"
Finance teams may be more efficient but what about the rest of us?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are a few tips though that can help with the form-filling. And I am trying to spread the load by doing things as I go…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First up, use the ExpenseIt app. This goes further than the normal Concur apps by performing some analysis on a picture of a receipt and pre-populating some of the metadata for the claim.\u00a0 It’s not perfect, but after photographing a pile of receipts I can make some edits in the app whilst travelling\/watching TV\/in a couple of minutes whilst waiting for a conference call to start and then bulk upload.<\/li>\n
  2. Once the expenses are in exported to Concur, I bulk edit as much as I can. Fields like project code, business purpose and customer name can be edited for several receipts at once.<\/li>\n
  3. Receipts that arrive electronically (e.g. PDFs of parking receipts, train bookings, etc.) can be emailed to receipts@concur.com<\/a> – and as long as they come from your registered email address they will be available automatically for attaching to a claim.<\/li>\n
  4. Mileage claims for journeys can be bulk-entered from the quick expenses form.<\/li>\n
  5. If at this point there are any receipts that have warnings, there’s no getting away from the need to individually edit them and add things like the type of meal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It’s still far from streamlined… but a few tips like this save me a lot of time. Sadly the ExpenseIt app is not available for Windows Phone…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
