How to edit a request or reconciliation in Concur

Follow the full guide to learn how to edit each part of a request or reconciliation, or use the quick links at the top of the page to skip to a specific section. 

As a reminder, travel requests are labeled "requests" in Concur. Select Requests to open a travel request.
Reimbursement requests and p-card reconciliations are labeled "reports" in Concur. Select Expense to open a reimbursement request or p-card reconciliation.

In this guide we’re editing a travel request, so all the images will show the word “request.” If you're editing a reimbursement request or p-card reconciliation, your screens will show "report" instead. 

Open the request or reconciliation


Yellow thumbtack next to important information

Travel requests, reimbursement requests, and p-card reconciliations can be edited anytime before the final approval. For example, if a travel request is submitted and approved by the first approver, it can still be recalled and edited.

Once a request or reconciliation is approved by the final approver, it can’t be recalled and edited. If your request or reconciliation has already been approved, skip to the last section: edit an approved request.

Clicking Recall will un-submit the request so you can make changes. Once you make changes and submit it again, the approval process will start over and the request will be sent back to the first approver.
