SAP Concur API
SAP Concur keeps track of employee expenses, corporate travel bookings, and vendor invoices. An unofficial API lets you pull expense reports, card feeds, and trip data into your systems; push new expenses and receipts back to Concur; and automate submissions, approvals, and exports
What is SAP Concur?
SAP Concur is an enterprise platform for travel and expense (T&E) management and AP automation. It centralizes expense capture, policy enforcement, travel booking, approvals, reimbursements, and invoice processing, with deep ERP connectivity.
Core product families include:
- Concur Expense (expense capture, reports, approvals, reimbursements)
- Concur Travel (online booking, trips, itineraries, supplier integrations)
- Concur Invoice (AP intake, approvals, payments)
- Intelligence/Reporting (analytics, audit, VAT/GST reclaim)
Common data entities:
- Users and roles (employees, approvers, AP clerks)
- Expense reports and expense entries (line items, allocations, attendees)
- Corporate card transactions (feeds from Amex, Visa, Mastercard, bank issuers)
- Receipts and attachments (images, PDFs, OCR metadata)
- Trips and bookings (air, hotel, car, rail; PNRs and ticket numbers)
- Invoices, vendors, purchase requests, and payments
- Policies, expense types, tax codes (VAT/GST), accounting codes (GL, cost center, project)
The SAP Concur Integration Challenge
Teams depend on SAP Concur, but integrating it cleanly into automated finance stacks can be hard:
- Product entitlements and licensing: API access often requires additional Web Services licensing; capabilities vary by module and tenant
- Enterprise security controls: SSO/MFA, network restrictions, and region-specific tenants complicate headless automation
- Portal-first workflows: Key actions (submissions, attachments, approvals) are optimized for the web app; public APIs may be limited or inconsistent
- Data export friction: Many teams rely on scheduled reports or SFTP; real-time exports and webhooks are sparse or costly
- Normalization needs: Multi-currency amounts, VAT/GST itemization, allocations, and card matching require consistent schemas
- API costs and rate limits: Access, quotas, and uneven documentation can slow delivery and increase integration effort

API Endpoints
Authentication
/auth/sessionsEstablish a session using credentials. Supergood manages MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and SSO/OAuth when enabled. Returns a short-lived auth token maintained by the platform.
Authentication
/auth/sessions/refreshRefresh an existing token to keep sessions uninterrupted.
Expense Reports
/expense-reportsList and filter expense reports by status, employee, cost center, and date ranges. Returns normalized totals and currency metadata.
Expense Reports
/expense-reports/{reportId}/expensesCreate or upsert an expense line item on a report. Supports mapping from corporate card transactions and attaching a receipt.
Corporate Card Transactions
/card-transactionsRetrieve corporate card transactions with filtering for status (unassigned, matched), employee, date range, and issuer. Useful for pre-populating expenses and reconciliation.
Receipts
/receiptsUpload a receipt image or provide an external URL. Optionally trigger OCR to pre-fill amount, date, and merchant for downstream expense creation.
Use Cases
Expense Report Automation and Close Acceleration
- Pull draft/submitted/approved reports with normalized totals and currency - Push expense line items from receipts and corporate card transactions - Trigger submissions and route approvals from your own UI or workflow engine
Corporate Card Reconciliation
- Ingest unassigned card transactions with MCC, merchant, and FX rates - Auto-create expenses, attach receipts, and map to expense types and accounting codes - Track matching status to reduce out-of-policy spend and month-end work
Travel Itinerary Sync
- Sync trips and bookings (air, hotel, car) with PNRs, ticket numbers, and statuses - Enrich traveler profiles in your TMC, risk, or traveler assistance tools - Reconcile bookings with expense entries to catch missing receipts
AP and VAT/GST Workflows
- Pull invoices and approvals, export to ERP or payments - Normalize VAT/GST itemization and tax codes for reclaim workflows - Generate audit-ready artifacts for finance and compliance
