Accurately reporting sponsored funds travel in Concur

Posted: October 1, 2024

If your travel is being charged to a contract and grant account (CG fund group code), you must accurately indicate on your Concur expense report that the travel is using sponsored funds. This requirement applies to all travel charged to sponsored funds, even if you are traveling for a conference, a meeting, or an interview.

When creating your expense report, select Sponsored Funds Travel from the dropdown options in the Report/Business Purpose of Expense field on the report header. When you select the Sponsored Funds Travel option, you will trigger other rules in Concur that help you comply with the policies for sponsored travel.

A screenshot of the options in Concur for the Report/Business Purpose of Expense field on the report header. Among the options is "Sponsored Funds Travel" which is circled to illustrate which option should be selected when traveling on sponsored funds.

For KFS Org Managers

When approving the account being charged on an expense report, if the travel is being charged to a CG account, confirm the Report/Business Purpose of Expense field is Sponsored Funds Travel. If not, you can either update the field or send the report back to the traveler asking them to correct the field and resubmit the report.

Thank you for helping Cornell accurately report sponsored funds activity.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Cornell Concur Support Team.
