Section 1: Permissions Processor Section 1: Permissions A company administrator may or may not have the correct permissions to use this feature. The administrator may have limited permissions, for example, they can affect only certain groups and/or use only certain options (view but not create or edit). If a company administrator needs to use this feature and does not have the proper permissions, they should contact the company's SAP Concur administrator. Also, the administrator should be aware that some of the tasks described in this guide can be completed only by SAP Concur staff. In this case, the client must initiate a service request with SAP Concur support. Section 2: Overview Concur Request processors use the processor page to view, print, and manage requests. Processor Roles As a processor, the actions you can take depend on the processor role you have: TMC Agent: Your company assigns this role to one or more agents of its Travel Management Company (TMC) or to your company's internal travel agent(s). In some regions, it is appropriate for the TMC Agent to access the request after the user submits it but before the approver receives it. This way, the TMC Agent can add/edit the segment amounts – ensuring accuracy for the request approver.

Section 3: The Processor Page Request Administrator: Your company assigns this role to one or more of its own employees. This processor can view and fully manage virtually all requests. Request Auditor: This is a read-only role. Your company can assign this role to TMCs, to its own internal travel agent(s), or to any other user that needs read-only access to requests. Users with any of these roles are generically referred to as "processors." Additional details about these roles are provided on the following pages. Delegates None of the processor roles can be delegated. Section 3: The Processor Page Access If you are assigned one of the processor roles, the Process Requests option appears on the Requests sub-menu. Columns By default, this information (columns) appears on the processor page: 2 Ever Sent Back (no name on column header) Has Comments (no name on column header; click the icon to view) Has Image Available (no name on column header; click the icon to view) Request (name) Request ID Concur Request: Processor User Guide Last Revised: October 1, 2022 2004 – 2022 SAP Concur All rights reserved.

Section 3: The Processor Page Submit Date Employee Name Approval Status Total Approved Amount Start Date Purpose You can sort by any of these columns. Click List Settings to add additional columns to the page. Concur Request: Processor User Guide Last Revised: October 1, 2022 2004 – 2022 SAP Concur All rights reserved. 3

Section 3: The Processor Page Simple Search You can search on many different fields, such as Name, Request ID, etc. Initially, there are two rows. As the second row is used, the third appears. A total of five rows are available. 4 Concur Request: Processor User Guide Last Revised: October 1, 2022 2004 – 2022 SAP Concur All rights reserved.

Section 4: Queries Groups If you have rights for the "global" group, you can use the Group button to filter the search results. Section 4: Queries Built-In Queries The Processor tool has several built-in queries: The Request Administrator and the Request Auditor have these queries: Requests Ready for Processing Requests Pending Approval Requests Pending Approval with an approval limit date Requests Approved without Expense Report Event Requests Concur Request: Processor User Guide Last Revised: October 1, 2022 2004 – 2022 SAP Concur All rights reserved. 5

Section 4: Queries The TMC Agent has this query: Requests Ready for Processing. Custom Queries Overview You can create, edit, and delete queries to help you quickly search for requests. They are basically simple conditional statements: Show me each request where this condition is true. UNDERSTANDING CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS When creating or editing conditional expressions, consider the following. 6 There is no limit to the number of conditions that comprise a total expression. Most conditions are comprised of a field then an operator then a value. For example: A field consists of a data object (essentially a database table) and a field in that data object (essentially a database column). The field selected defines the data type of the condition (number, text, date, and so on). An operator is one of several pre-defined comparison operators (equals, not equals, is greater than, and so on). The list of operators changes depending on the type of data being compared. A value is a constant and – like the field – can be of any data type. The data type of the value must match the data type of the field. If a second field is used in the condition, its data type must match that of the first field. When a conditional expression is composed of multiple conditions, each condition is separated by either and or or. Parentheses are optional and are used to define the order of operation for the and/or operators. If the parentheses are omitted, and/or operations are carried out left to right. There is no precedence of and over or – the evaluation of the expression is simply left to right. If a conditional expression contains parentheses, the count of left parentheses must match the count of right parentheses. There can be up to three parentheses for both left and right sides. Concur Request: Processor User Guide Last Revised: October 1, 2022 2004 – 2022 SAP Concur All rights reserved.

Section 4: Queries Example of correct placement of parentheses and total left/right count: (Condition 1) and (Condition 2) Examples of incorrect parentheses even though the total left/right count matches: Condition1 ) And ( Condition2 Condition1 ) And ( Condition2 ) Or ( Condition3 ( Condition1 )) And ( Condition2 Conditional expressions must be precise to include or exclude all necessary criteria. THE CONDITION PAGE The Condition page is described below. Field Description A: Left Parenthesis Up to three parentheses; only used for complex, multi-part conditions B: Data Object The choices that appear depend on the event that triggers the rule: Employee Request Request Allocation Request Cash Advance Request Entry (amount fields on the request) Request Exception Segment C: Field / Value Click an item in the helper pane. The information that appears in this pane is based on the selection made in the Data Object list. See the table below. D: Operator Click an item in the helper pane. The information that appears in this pane is based on the administrator's previous choices. E: Data Object The system provides the option that best suits the previous choices. Change it if necessary. F: Field / Value Click an item in the helper pane. The information that appears in this pane is based on the selection made in the Data Object list. See the table below. G: Right Parenthesis Choose zero to three parentheses, depending on the complexity of the condition.

Section 5: Processing and Viewing You can then view the header, segments, comments, etc. and then – if appropriate – approve or send back the request. Be aware that – in the Processor tool – the requests that you can manage and/or view depends on your role, as described on the following pages. Actions – TMC Agent Generally, the TMC Agent can complete the tasks listed below for any request that is awaiting TMC processing and belongs to their assigned group: View all fields on all tabs except the Expenses tab and cash advance information Print Attach, view, and print attached images Add a comment on the header Modify the cost (amount) on a segment Send the request to the next workflow step or send it back to the user The items shown above are the general settings. Your company may have made changes so you may not have the exact same list of tasks.

Section 5: Processing and Viewing POOL OF PROCESSORS All users assigned the TMC Agent role for a particular group are in a "pool." Any TMC Agent in the pool can process any request; there is no option for naming a specific TMC Agent to manage specific requests. Actions – Request Administrator Generally, the Request Administrator can complete the tasks listed below for any request that is submitted and belongs to their assigned group: View all tabs Print Attach, view, and print attached images Add a comment on the header Modify the cost (amount) on a segment NOTE: Some amount values cannot be modified by the Request Administrator as the values are the result of system calculations, such as Total Remaining Amount. Send the request to the next workflow step or send it back to the user NOTE: The items shown above are the general settings. Your company may have made changes so you may not have the exact same list of tasks. IMPORTANT: As noted, this processor can view all submitted requests (in their group), which includes virtually all requests, like: Sent back to the user Currently being processed by another Request Administrator Currently awaiting TMC Agent processing Already been processed by TMC Agents Already been processed by them or another Request Administrator The Request Administrator can never manage or view a request: With the unsubmitted status - or - That the processor created (as a request user) The Request Administrator cannot add new segments.

Section 5: Processing and Viewing Re-opening a Request Concur can be configured so that Request Administrator can re-open closed requests. If so, the Re-open button appears when the Request Administrator searches for and opens a closed request. Note the following: When the request is re-opened, the action is noted in the audit trail. If the request is set to automatically expire (based on the Request Active Days option in Request Policies) and: If that date is in the future, the re-opened request will still expire on the original expiration date. If that date has passed, the expiration date is recalculated. That is, the request will expire after the number of days shown in the Request Active Days field. NOTE: The TMC Agent and the Request Auditor cannot re-open closed requests. POOL OF PROCESSORS All users assigned the Request Administrator role for a particular group are in a "pool." Any Request Administrator in the pool can process any request; there is no option for naming a specific Request Administrator to manage specific requests. Actions – Request Auditor A user with the Request Auditor role can view and print (including images) any request that is submitted and belongs to their assigned group. 16 Concur Request: Processor User Guide Last Revised: October 1, 2022 2004 – 2022 SAP Concur All rights reserved.

Section 6: Processor Preferences Like the Request Administrator, submitted includes all requests (in their group) that have a status other than unsubmitted and were not created by the processor (as a request user). POOL OF PROCESSORS All users assigned the Request Auditor role for a particular group are in a "pool." Any Request Auditor in the pool can view any request; there is no option for naming a specific Request Auditor to view specific requests.
