To assist in tracking departmental expenses for travel, each reservation requires your departmental cost center or SAP code. Your default cost center is loaded in your travel profile for reference. This cost center code needs to be denoted on any Revision TARs. Also, if you travel for an alternate cost center, you will be asked to supply this during the reservation process.

Each user must individually select other employees in the Concur Travel system that are permitted to book reservations for them. The traveler must use the Assistants and Travel Arrangers section of the profile to add any AA or planner that can access their profile or book on their behalf. My manager, organizational unit, job title, cost center and/or home address is incorrect on my profile. How can this information be updated?
