Deploying SAP Concur Expense, in France and internationally
SAP Concur Expense automates expense management: entry from the mobile app, receipt reading, expense policy checks, approval and accounting export to the ERP. Bratsi, a certified SAP Concur Expense implementation partner, supports your project end to end, from design to deployment in each country.
Global model (Core Model) design: expense policies, expense types, approval workflows, permissions and roles, split between global and local configuration
Configuration: forms, fields, lists, audit rules, mileage allowance and business travel rates
Country localization: VAT, mileage allowances, per diem and flat-rate reimbursements, local rules
Corporate cards: integration of card feeds (Amex, Visa, Mastercard) and automatic reconciliation
Integrations: accounting export to SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP Business ByDesign; employee integration from SAP SuccessFactors, Workday or your HRIS, via API or flat file
Testing, training and change management: test scenarios, training for administrators and key users, materials
Country-by-country rollout: extending the global model to new subsidiaries
Compliant localization in every country
A single global model must comply with the rules of each country. We configure Concur Expense localization, country by country:
VAT: rates by expense category, recovery conditions, special cases (Monaco, multiple rates, fuel)
Mileage allowances: local rates, vehicle categories, caps
Per diem and flat-rate reimbursements: daily allowances, meal and accommodation allowances, social security and tax exemption thresholds
Local rules: mandatory receipts, paperless processing and archiving, currencies, languages
E-invoicing: impact of national reforms, such as the French 2026-2027 reform, on invoices included in expense reports

How long does an SAP Concur Expense deployment take?
Building and deploying a global model (Core Model) generally takes between 3 and 6 months, depending on the number of entities, policies and integrations. Deploying a new subsidiary from this Core Model then takes between 10 and 12 weeks.
Do you need a SAP ERP to use SAP Concur Expense?
No. SAP Concur Expense integrates with SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA, but also with Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and other ERPs via files or API. We have delivered each of these types of integration.
Can you take over an existing SAP Concur setup?
Yes. We carry out configuration audits and optimization projects: role review, form simplification, control automation, activation of new modules.
Do you work outside France?
Yes. We have deployed SAP Concur in more than 70 countries, with localization adapted to each one.
