Previously at the start of a new month, my first "ExpenseIt" for the month would automatically create a new months Expense Claim (October for example). Now I am having to go in and manually create one. Has this changed, or is this able to be changed in settings??
@scottsI looked up your profile and the setting is turned on. I see an expense claim that has been submitted named September Expense (01/09/2021) and another unsubmitted claim named October Expense (01/10/2021). This is the naming convention used by the Expense Assistant feature (this is what auto-creates claims). I actually went and looked at all the claims you had for this year and they all use the same naming convention. So, the system still is creating your claims automatically unless you created October's claim and types October Expense (01/10/2021) as the claim name.
Hey KevinD,
Everything up until the end of September was as you described, with a new month being setup automatically. However as per my original post, once I chose the "ExpenseIt" funtion, it was not automatically generated.
I manually created the October one, using the same naming method as per previous months, for consistency.
Thanks,
Scott.
@scottswhere did you choose the ExpenseIt function? On the mobile app? I did see an ExpenseIt item in your Available Expenses, but usually when these come in they kick off the auto-create. Was the ExpenseIt item paid for with your company card?
Yes, I used the "ExpenseIt" function on the app. No, I wasn't using a company card.
@scottsOkay, if no company card transactions had come in for the month of October, then the system wouldn't create a report for you. I believe if the ExpenseIt item was for a company card transaction, then it would have created a report for you.
The import of Company Card transactions is what triggers the system to auto-create the report.
I've not changed the way I have uploaded receipts/expenses since Day 1 of using the Concur platform. Every other month all I have done is upload/import a photo of a receipt OR used the "express" form of using the ExpenseIt function using my phones camera with the app. EVery other month the first one of these for the month automatically creates a new Monthly Expense Claim.
Nothing has changed, excpet the auto creation of an expense claim.
@scottsOkay, I understand. So, I think the only thing we can do is see if this same issue happens again in November. If so, then we know it wasn't a one-off.
