You will need to create separate reports for each. There are two types of expenses that can hit your expense report: 1. Cash paid by you or personal credit card, 2. Expenses paid by the company-paid credit card, your Bank of America Visa. Except for mileage reimbursement, all expenses require receipts and will need to be attached to the expense report. In Concur, these are stored electronically (either by scanning and attaching receipts as a PDF or by fax). Original receipts are not needed; however, you should retain them until your report has been approved. Once a report is completed/submitted, it automatically goes to the Project Owner for approval with all back up. Once approved, your job is complete.
