Concur Expense Management System Launches July 1

As you may know, Rutgers is transitioning to a new way of managing travel and expenses using the Concur platform, scheduled to launch on July 1. The updated travel and expense management process will improve the handling of travel, expense, and university purchasing card transactions; better manage spending and identify expenses that need pre-approval; and strengthen enforcement of university policies while reducing risk. 

Please visit our website for more information on training dates, open office hours, and additional resources.

In preparation for the system launch, please take note of these upcoming expense- and travel-related deadlines.  

Reminder: FY24 Year-End and Fund Type 100 Schedule

As we approach the end of fiscal year 2024, please take a moment to visit our website and familiarize yourself with the information and deadlines pertaining to fiscal year-end and the Fund Type 100 initiative. This will ensure that your financial transactions are processed in a timely manner.

Annual Supplier Data Cleanup

As part of our annual supplier data cleanup, we have deactivated over 4K suppliers that meet the defined criteria. This cleanup effort mitigates the risk of fraud and erroneous and duplicated payments.
