Hello all, has anyone experienced an integration of the SAP Concur expense report platform with IFS cloud?

Have you done it internally or used a third party integrator?

Looking forward hearing from you.

Dear @sibouc 

We are in the process of integration with IFS APPS 10.

But it should be the same standard process.

What exactly do you want import to IFS? Travel expenses?


Hi, 

I’ve seen this done for a number of clients. The best way to do this really depends on the situation / client.

In some cases, the expense report payments are to be made from IFS via the supplier invoice, in other cases, the payments are done outside of IFS and we pass voucher rows. 

So… The two common flows would be external supplier invoice or external vouchers. 

Both are fairly easy to set up and work through.  

The only difficulty (somewhat difficult) was when the client needed concur with IFS Projects. In this case, the expenses would then need an activity sequence.  Integrating concur for the activity sequence (constantly evolving) can be more difficult than a static list (for example a COA).  Do able. 

Best regards, 

Thomas

We have IFS cloud. We’re unsure if, like @Thomas Peterson mentions, we’ll be doing supplier invoice (like we currently do for expenses) or if we’ll be going for the voucher rows.

The expenses would be any type of expenses we currently do on Excel: travel, indirect spend, some urgent direct spend. Via personal payment reimbursement or company credit card statement payment.


Dear @sibouc 

you can use both methods. In IFS there exist different “External File Templates”.

For example the first one you can use it if you want to create manual supplier invoices.

Then the csv file needs the structure with H I P T N V O (STDSIN1).
