Effective September 1, 2023, all rental car reservations for official university business travel must be made in Concur. This includes any reservations for non-employee guest travelers. The discount codes affording travelers the university agreement pricing will automatically be applied to reservations made in Concur or with Christopherson Business Travel (CBT) directly.
Beginning August 21, the PSC is launching a fully searchable Knowledge Base that will house how-to articles, step-by-step guides, and additional informational resources. PSC Knowledge Base content is designed to answer specific questions, such as “How do I add a travel allowance to an expense report?” and “How do I enter receiving?”, and articles will contain helpful screenshots and videos for reference. The PSC Knowledge Base will be accessible through the PSC website, either through the Knowledge tab located at the top of PSC pages, in the Suggested Articles located at the bottom of PSC pages, or via PSC website article links which will be redirected to the Knowledge Base over the coming weeks.
In the July 2023 PSC Newsletter, we let you all know of a potential UPS strike on July 31st. We are happy to report that on July 25th, UPS and its union workers reached a tentative agreement on a 5-year labor contract which avoids a strike.
Beginning 9/11/2023, you can electronically submit a procurement card application, travel card application, approving official form, and cardholder update (for procurement and travel cards) in the Concur Travel and Expense System. The approvals will route through Concur, so no more Microsoft Excel paper copies, obtaining ink signatures, and emailing applications to the PSC.
Around the 15th of every month, Concur sends automated reminders to employees with aging commercial card transactions in their Concur profile. These reminders are a courtesy intended to help employees manage the timing of expense submissions relative to the University’s accountable plan for reimbursement.
