SAP Concur is a widely used travel and expense management solution that integrates with SAP ERP systems to streamline business processes. Managing user access within SAP Concur is critical to ensure security, compliance, and accurate financial controls. Integrating SAP Concur into the broader SAP User Access Review (UAR) process is essential for organizations to maintain control over who can perform sensitive transactions and to comply with audit requirements.
This article outlines the key steps and best practices for configuring SAP User Access Review specifically for SAP Concur environments.
Familiarize with the standard Concur roles such as:
Document the permissions and transaction capabilities each role provides.
Establish data feeds or export mechanisms to pull user and role assignment data from SAP Concur into your SAP access governance platform (e.g., SAP GRC Access Control). This integration is crucial for a unified access review process.
Determine which user groups and roles in SAP Concur need to be reviewed and establish periodic review cycles (e.g., quarterly, bi-annually). Schedule notifications and reminders to reviewers.
Align SAP Concur roles with your organization’s SoD risk catalog to detect conflicting accesses. For example, a user who can both submit and approve expenses may present an SoD conflict.
Set up workflows within your SAP access review tool to:
Ensure all review actions, decisions, and remediation activities are documented for audit purposes. Automate the tracking of remediation status where possible.
Configuring SAP User Access Review for SAP Concur is a vital step in strengthening enterprise-wide access governance. By integrating Concur access data into your SAP User Access Review processes, organizations can ensure appropriate access controls, mitigate risks, and maintain compliance with regulatory standards.
Adopting a structured approach with clear role definitions, robust workflows, and continuous monitoring empowers organizations to manage SAP Concur access effectively within their overall SAP security framework.
