Activate E-receipts

What is an E-Receipt?

The term e-receipt refers to an electronic receipt sent directly to Concur. E-receipts provide full invoice details directly from the supplier. Concur has partnered with most airlines, major hotels and car rental companies to offer e-receipt data directly into Concur, eliminating the need for scanned paper receipts for eligible purchases. Individuals are encouraged to enable e-receipts in their Concur profile before booking travel. Follow the steps below to activate e-receipts.

Step 1.

From the Concur Home Page: 
  1. Under Alerts, locate the e-receipt alert, and select Sign up here. 
  2. Then, from the E-Receipt Activation page, select where it says, click here.

--Or--

If you do not have any Alert notifications on your Home Page, go to your Profile> Profile Settings: 

Under Profile Options 

  • Select E-Receipt Activation to get to the E-Receipt Activation page. 

Step 2.

The E-Receipt Activation and Use Agreement Window appears. 
  • Read and select I Accept. 
  • A confirmation message appears.

Note: Since you must accept the terms, a delegate/liaison cannot perform this action. The user must do this themselves. 

After enabling e-receipts, you will see the e-receipt icon next to eligible expenses in your available expenses. Select or hover over the icon to view the e-receipt. Once a receipt is uploaded to your profile, throw it away! There is no longer a need to keep paper receipts. 

E-receipts for Concur Travel arrangements will be sent to Concur for the following: 

  • All airline ticket purchases. 
    • Agent fees and ancillary fees such as SW Early Bird and Baggage Fees are not e-receipt eligible; receipts for those fees must be emailed to receipts@expenseit.com or a photo taken in the Concur Mobile App. 
    • Most major hotels. Concur will note E-Receipt Enabled hotels in the hotel search. 
    • Most major rental cars. Concur will note E-Receipt Enabled rental vehicles in the car search.
