During Your Travel Receipts

• During your trip, make sure to keep track of your receipts to submit them for reimbursement.
• When it comes to tracking your receipts, we recommend a few methods: (Remember, it is best to use a method that best suites you. These are only suggestions.)
  1. Take photos of receipts on your phone. This is a simple practice just to ensure that you have a backup if you are to lose your physical receipt.
  2. Use Adobe Scan app. If you are subscribed to the Adobe Suite, and have access to Adobe Scan, this is a great way instantly turn your receipts into a scanned PDF file. You can then easily view, and submit these files into Concur when submitting your Expense Report.

After Your Trip Expense Report

• When you return from your trip, you must create an Expense Report with the receipts that you've obtained.
  • If you need assistance during this process, you can follow the How-To Guide for help.
• Before an Expense Report can be submitted, you must have an approved Pre-Trip.
• After you submit the Expense Report and it gets approved, accounting will issue your payment within about 7-14 business days.
