Concur Invoice Tips

How do I know what Request Type to select when submitting a payment request?

• Vendor Payments: Typical vendor payments include but are not limited to Payment for Goods (i.e. Office Supplies, Books, Brochures) Subscriptions, Membership Dues, Software Licenses, Koret Refunds, Application Fee Refunds, Other Refunds.
• Service Payments: Please check the Internal Audit and Tax Compliance page to review the list of payments that do not require Independent Contractor Approval.
• Non-Employee Reimbursements: Reimbursements, including Petty Cash Reimbursements.

Are you submitting a Service Payment?
If you are submitting payment request into Concur Invoice for a Service Payment to an individual who is providing professional, technical, administrative or unique services to the University, you must obtain approval from our Internal Audit & Tax Compliance Department. You can do this by submitting an I.C.Approval Request Form. Once the services are approved, you will be sent a confirmation email which needs to be uploaded into your payment request as backup.

What do I do if an invoice number is not provided?
Please refer to the Concur Invoice Naming Conventions Guide.
