How do I write a strong business purpose?

A key component of a successful Travel & Entertainment expense report is a strong and valid Business Purpose. Below are examples of well-documented business purposes that departments have included in their expense reports:

  • Attended the XYZ Conference to present our research findings and collaborate with other investigators in the field of XYZ.
  • Hosted the ABC Event to welcome and support new UC San Diego Alumni. This was a great opportunity to connect our new Triton alumni with other Tritons in the region and build mentorships with incoming and current students.
  • Retirement celebration event for Employee Z to recognize 30 years of dedicated service to UC San Diego.
  • Staff event for the XYZ team to celebrate recent fiscal year successes and conduct team building activities.
  • Invited to the ABC Conference as the keynote speaker in City A. We then learned of an unexpected opportunity to meet with a potential donor in City B thus needed to purchase last minute airfare which was slightly higher in cost due to the lack of advanced notice.

How do I add someone as a delegate?

How to Add Delegates
Step-by-Step Guide

Critical Concepts

  • Faculty and staff must login to Concur with their UC San Diego credentials and designate their delegates, there are no exceptions
  • The Request and Expense modules share delegates, by assigning permissions to a delegate in one area, you are assigning permissions for both Request and Expense
  • Once added, a delegate can perform all of the same actions as a normal user except for submitting:
    • a Travel Expense Report
    • a New Card Product Request, including Travel & Entertainment Card and Procurement Card
    • a Procurement Card Expense Report

Are there walkthrough videos?

Can I digitize receipts?

Utilize the Concur Mobile App to digitize receipts while on the go. Features include:

  • Capture receipt images from your mobile device to attach your business expenses and University Card transactions.
  • Using Expenseit, you can instantly turn receipts into Concur expense entries.

How can I email receipts to Concur?

First, verify your email address in Concur.

Email receipts to recepts@expenseit.com or receipts@concur.com to have them readily available in your Concur receipt bank.

Delegates emailing receipts on behalf of another Employee should provide the User's verified email address in the Subject Line of the email.
