Coming October 1: Improved Travel Allowance Experience in Concur

September 19, 2025

Starting October 1, UA will launch an updated Travel Allowance experience in SAP Concur. Travel Allowance is the feature that determines how per diem is calculated and populated.

What's Changing?

• A more user-friendly Travel Allowance interface.
• Requests will now use a Travel Allowance Itinerary to populate per diem, aligning the process with how it works in Expense Reports.
• When you create an Expense Report from a Request, the Travel Allowance Itinerary will automatically transfer and populate per diem in the Expense Report.

Helpful Guides

To help you navigate the new experience, here are two quick reference documents:
