Ascend 2.0 is reimagining and modernizing UCLA’s financial landscape. As the University transitions to its brand-new procurement system, BruinBuy Plus, we’re expanding the functionality of our current Concur system.
Concur Expansion Packs
With numerous updates and enhancements on the horizon, we’re adopting a staggered deployment schedule. Our expansion packs are designed to provide maximum impact with minimal interruption, allowing you to adjust to each change before we deploy the next one.
Starting in Summer 2023
At this time, Concur is utilized for travel and entertainment (T&E) reimbursements, as well as direct-billed airfare, lodging, and T&E card requests. But it can do so much more! With the first expansion packs, the system will also handle:
- Monthly PCard Statement Reconciliation
launched June 16, 2023- Non-T&E Employee/Guest Business Expense Reimbursements
launched July 10, 2023- Cash Advances
launched July 10, 2023- General Refunds
launched November 6, 2023- SAP Concur Fiori with Horizon User Interface (UI) Update
launching March 26, 2024
REMINDER: Cash advances are only allowed in very limited circumstances.
What Else is Coming?
