Option 1: Itemise an Expense NOTE: Itemization of a transaction is only necessary when you need to split the Tax amount in accordance with the Tax Invoice. This is applicable when the standard of 10% GST does not apply on receipts. This is also necessary for Entertainment Expenditure 4201-4202 where the breakdown of number of Guests/staff is not split 50/50. For 10 or less Attendees 1. When you select 4201-4202 as an expense type the Add attendee field will show. You can add all attendees through this function nominating if they are business guests or employees. The system will then calculate the portion charged to each attendee. Note that adding two entries for large groups (e.g. 35 Guests & 22 staff) will not calculate the proportion properly. Please refer to next section on navigation through the Add attendee function. 2. After adding all attendees, click Save. Ensure that the cardholder is also included in this list if attending the function. 3. Complete the remaining fields on the expense page as usual. For Attendees exceeding 10 If the number of attendees at a function exceeds more than 10 people, entering all the names of the attendees is not necessary within Concur. However, you will be required to itemise the expense in Concur and attach a listing of those present to the hard copy. In the following example, there are a total of 20 guests who attended a function. 3 of which are Staff and 17 are Business Guests. As the split between staff/guests is not a 50/50 split, you will need to itemize the transaction as follows. To calculate the cost for staff and attendees please complete this calculation first before entering into Concur; Work out cost per head: Total amount of transaction ($330) Total number of guests (20) = $16.50 per head Staff Portion: 3 staff cost per head ($16.50) = $49.50 Guest Portion: 17 guests cost per head ($16.50) = $280.50 14
1. Select 4201-4202 from the expense type field. Complete necessary details as usual 2. Scroll down within the Expense detail view on the right hand pane until you see the Add/Select Attendee box. You can either add a new attendee by clicking New Attendee or search for previously used guests within the Favorites box or click Search. 15
3. When adding a new attendee the following screen will appear. Complete the Attendee Type dropdown and select either Business Guest or Employee. Then fill in the name and other associated details and click save. Repeat this process for both Guest and Employee. 4. The entry will then appear as follows. 16
5. Click on the Itemize icon as shown 6. Select 4201-4202 from the Expense Type Dropdown. 17
7. Fill in all fields in the expense screen as shown. 8. Scroll to the bottom of the Expense details on the right until the Attendee Box appears. Firstly add the no of staff. Once completed click Add another Itemisation. And repeat steps 1-8 for the guest portion. 18
9. Once the Guest portion has been completed, click on save. The amount remaining to itemize will now balance to zero as highlighted below. You will also see the itemization breakdown on the left of the screen under Expense List. You may now select the next expense to work on or return to the My Concur Homepage.
