Submit Your Expense Report in Concur

Submit one expense report per month for all incurred LDF charges (Pcard reconciliations and reimbursement requests).

Things to Keep in Mind

• Expense reports must be submitted in Concur at the end of each month in which you have incurred expenses. (Expense reports are officially due the first day of the month.) This is a university requirement.
• Submit one Concur report with all of your expenses that have been incurred during the month.
• There is no correlation between an expense report and an LDF activity. Your LDF expenses for a specific event/activity may very likely be spread over several monthly expense reports. Do not wait to submit your expense reports until you have incurred all expenses for an LDF activity.

Notes for Submitting Expense Reports in Concur

Report

Report Name: Month_Year. Example: October 2021

Report Business Purpose: LDF Expenses

At the report-level, attach the approved LDF request form(s) (PDF) as it relates to any expense included in the report. From the menu directly below the report name, select Manage Receipts --> Manage Attachments and then attach the LDF request form. See image.

Individual Expenses

Business Purpose

In the “Business Purpose” field of each expense, include the "Name of Activity/Event" to which the expense relates. The "Name of Activity/Event" is found on your LDF request. It should look like this: Last Name_Brief Activity Name_Activity Year. Example: Lyon ALA 2019. See image.

FOAP Numbers

All LDF fund expenses should be assigned the following FOAP numbers:

• FUND: use the individual fund (LDF FOAP) that correctly identifies the fiscal year in which the request was approved, for example, “285001 O FDF Anders Lyon”. The correct FOAP can be found on your approved LDF Request Form. See image.
• CHARGING ORG: 351004
• ACCOUNT: varies by expense type
• PROGRAM: 1200

Double-check each expense item before submitting your expense report. Usual Concur expense codes for LDF travel:

• Mileage Allowance 716040
• Do not use "Other Operating Expense." All expenses must be categorized. If your expense does not seem to fit in any of the above categories, consult with the committee or the business manager.

Receipts

Attach receipts at the expense-level for these transactions:

• Personal credit card or cash: Itemized receipt needed for ALL transactions
• P-card:Itemized receipt needed for transactions $50 or more

Additional Tips

• Use Missing Receipt form if you were unable to get a receipt. This form is available on the ABS website: https://myusf.usfca.edu/abs/resources/forms
• Keep your receipts at least until your Concur expense report has been approved. You can tell that a Concur expense report has gone through the full approval process when the status is set to “Extracted for Payment.”
• Make sure to obtain an itemized hotel folio upon checking out of your lodging, and include it with your Concur expense report if an e-receipt is not provided.
• If you buy food from a market to eat over several days instead of eating at restaurants, list the total amount on your expense report as Travel Meals 716430 and explain in the Comments. For example, you could indicate “breakfast for 6/4, 6/5 & 6/6” or “breakfast 6/4, lunch 6/4, breakfast 6/5”.
• If you charge room service to your hotel bill, add a note in the Comment field “includes room service Travel Meals $amount(s).”
