We recently released functionality that enables direct cost control between SAP Concur and SAP Financials Public Sector management. This functionality enables funds checking ("Do we have funds available?"), and funds reservations ("Reserve these funds for this traveler/spend"). Read more about it in this blog.

What is a test event?

A test event is an opportunity to get first hand experience with newly released or upcoming functionality. Through your testing, you can experiment with the functionality on familiar business processes, while having direct access to experts. You'll have the opportunity to share feedback and help shape our understanding of your needs. 

You'll bring your processes around budget control and funds reservations (also known as encumbrances, obligations, commitments, earmarking, etc), and we'll help you set up in our test environments. 

The test environments include access to Concur and SAP Financials.

Who can participate?

To ensure we can support all participants throughout the process, we have a limited number of spots available. Participants should be familiar with all of the following:

  • SAP Concur Expense
  • SAP Concur Request (optional)
  • SAP S/4 HANA Financials Public Sector Management

Participants will need to dedicate time to the event, participating in testing activities, kickoffs, and feedback sessions. 

Both partners and customers are invited participate.

When is the event?

The event is scheduled to occur April 23, 2024 through April 25, 2024 between the hours of 9 AM and 6 PM Central European Time.
