Fixing a report header policy

  • Change the policy to PAYMENT CARD.
    • When making a selection in a field, clicking on a drop-down will show your RECENTLY USED items listed at the top in BOLD.  If any of your recently used items have FAMIS in parenthesis and you select that item, it will change your policy to FAMIS.  To avoid this, you will need to search for the item you need from the full list.  You will need to scroll down to the very bottom to make your selection.  See, Report Header Policy Issue screenshot.

Transactions to submit on an Expense Report

  • An expense report should only contain the transactions within a specific billing cycle.
    • In Concur, each expense has a credit card icon that shows a Transaction Date, Posted Date and Billing Date. The month of the BILLING DATE will determine the Billing Cycle month for that expense.

    • The Citibank (GCMS) website is also available for cardholders to run an expense report for a billing cycle to use as a guide on what transactions to include for Concur expense reports. Instructions on how to run an expense report in GCMS.
