Unify Spend & ERP: SAP Concur & Syspro Integration

Automate expense, invoice, and corporate card management directly within your Syspro ERP. Drive efficiency, accuracy, and compliance.

The Challenge

The Disconnect Between Spend Management and Your ERP

Managing employee expenses and vendor invoices is critical, but when SAP Concur operates in isolation from your Syspro ERP, it creates significant operational bottlenecks and financial risks. Manual data transfer is a drain on resources and a breeding ground for errors.

  • Manual data entry of expense reports and invoices into Syspro.
  • Delayed financial closes due to reconciliation efforts.
  • Inaccurate GL postings and cost center allocations.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into company-wide spend.
  • Compliance risks from inconsistent data and audit trails.
  • Inefficient corporate card reconciliation processes.
  • Outdated employee and vendor master data across systems.

Technical Integration Details: SAP Concur & Syspro

Our iPaaS solution provides a robust, scalable, and secure framework for connecting SAP Concur and Syspro. It leverages the strengths of both platforms' APIs, ensuring efficient data exchange and workflow orchestration.

Data Flow Steps

Connectors & Authentication: Securely establish connections to SAP Concur using OAuth 2.0 and Syspro using Harmony API Keys/OAuth 2.0 via dedicated iPaaS connectors.

Event Listener/Polling: Configure iPaaS to listen for Concur events (e.g., expense approval webhooks) or poll Concur APIs for new/updated records (e.g., approved expense reports, invoices). For Syspro, trigger flows based on internal Syspro events or scheduled queries.

Data Extraction: Extract relevant entities and their fields (e.g., Concur Expense Report, Expense Entry, Invoice; Syspro GL Account, Vendor, Customer).

Data Transformation & Mapping: Utilize the iPaaS's visual mapping canvas to transform Concur data structures to align with Syspro's schema. This includes complex lookups, conditional logic, and AI-assisted field suggestions.

Data Validation: Implement pre-posting validation rules to ensure data integrity before pushing to Syspro (e.g., valid GL accounts, existing vendors).

Data Loading: Invoke Syspro Harmony APIs (e.g., `GeneralLedger/JournalEntry`, `AccountsReceivable/Payment`) to create or update records.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Capture API responses, log errors, implement retry logic, and send alerts for failed transactions. Provide a centralized dashboard for integration health.

Status Updates: Update Concur with Syspro's processing status (e.g., GLPostingStatus, Payment Status) for end-to-end visibility.

Data Touchpoints

Concur Expense Report <-> Syspro Journal Entry/AP Invoice
Concur Expense Entry <-> Syspro GL Account Line Item
Concur Invoice <-> Syspro Accounts Payable Invoice
Concur User/Employee <-> Syspro Customer/Internal Employee Record
Concur Vendor <-> Syspro Supplier Master
Concur Cost Center <-> Syspro Cost Center/Dimension
Concur GL Account <-> Syspro GL Account
Concur Company Card Transaction <-> Syspro GL Posting (after reconciliation)

"Concur (Expense Reports, Invoices, Corporate Card Transactions) → iPaaS (Extract, Transform, Validate, Orchestrate, AI Assist) ↔ Syspro (GL, AP, Master Data, Inventory) → Data Warehouse/BI (Analytics)"

Data Mapping

Key Data Entities & Field-Level Mappings

Successful integration hinges on precise mapping of core entities between SAP Concur and Syspro. Our iPaaS provides a visual, low-code interface to define these mappings, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Expense Report

A collection of individual expense entries submitted by an employee for approval and reimbursement in Concur, which needs to be posted to Syspro's General Ledger or Accounts Payable.

SAP Concur Fields

ReportID (Concur) EmployeeID (Concur) ReportName Status (Approved, Submitted, Paid) TotalAmount Currency SubmissionDate ApprovalDate GLPostingStatus

Syspro Fields

JournalEntryNumber (Syspro) Reference (e.g., Concur ReportID) GLAccount (Syspro, from Expense Entry lines) CostCenter (Syspro, from Expense Entry lines) Debit/Credit Amount TransactionDate (Syspro) SupplierCode (Syspro, if posting as AP Invoice) InvoiceNumber (Syspro, if posting as AP Invoice)

Mapping Notes

Concur's `ReportID` is typically mapped to a `Reference` field in Syspro's Journal Entry. `TotalAmount` is derived from sum of `Expense Entry` amounts. `Status` in Concur dictates when to trigger posting to Syspro. `EmployeeID` needs to map to a Syspro internal employee code or be associated with a Syspro Vendor for reimbursement.

Automated Expense Report Submission, Approval & Syspro GL Posting

Employees submit expense reports in SAP Concur, which are then routed for approval. Upon final approval, the iPaaS automatically extracts the expense data, maps it to the correct Syspro GL accounts and cost centers, and posts it as a journal entry or AP invoice in Syspro.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Employee captures receipts via Concur mobile app, AI extracts data.
  2. 1 Expense report submitted and routed through Concur's approval workflow.
  3. 2 Final approval in Concur triggers an event in the iPaaS.
  4. 3 iPaaS retrieves Concur Expense Report (ReportID, EmployeeID, TotalAmount, GLPostingStatus) and Expense Entries (EntryID, ExpenseType, Amount, GLAccountCode, CostCenter).
  5. 4 Data is transformed: Concur ExpenseType to Syspro GL Account (e.g., 'Meals' to '50010 - Travel & Entertainment'), Concur CostCenter to Syspro Cost Center.
  6. 5 iPaaS creates a Journal Entry in Syspro via `/api/harmony/2.0/GeneralLedger/JournalEntry` or an AP Invoice.
  7. 6 Syspro posts the transaction, and the GLPostingStatus in Concur is updated.
  8. 7 Finance team monitors integration dashboards for success or error logs.

Business Outcome

Real-time visibility of expenses in Syspro, reduced manual data entry and reconciliation, faster employee reimbursements, improved budget control.

Frequency

GET, POST, PUT /v3.0/expense/entries Manage individual expense entries within reports, essential for detailed GL posting.
GET, POST, PUT /v3.0/invoice/invoices Access and manage vendor invoices, including creation, approval status, and line items for Syspro AP.
GET, POST, PUT /v3.0/common/users Provision and manage user profiles, including employee details for master data sync.
GET /v3.0/common/lists Retrieve and manage custom lists (e.g., GL Accounts, Cost Centers) for Concur configuration.
GET, POST, PUT /v3.0/common/vendors Synchronize and manage vendor master data for invoice processing and supplier management.
POST /v3.0/financial/glentries Post general ledger entries for approved expenses and invoices (alternative to direct Syspro GL if Concur acts as GL source).
POST /v3.0/reporting/extracts Request and retrieve large data extracts for analytics and warehousing, complementing Syspro data.

Transformation Logic

  • Expense Type to GL Account Mapping: Concur `ExpenseType` values are mapped to specific Syspro `AccountNumber`s (e.g., 'Airfare' -> '50000-TravelExpense').
  • Cost Center Harmonization: Concur `CostCenter` IDs are mapped to corresponding Syspro `CostCenter` dimensions.
  • Vendor ID Reconciliation: Concur `VendorID` is matched or mapped to an existing Syspro `SupplierCode`. If no match, a new Syspro `Supplier` record might be created.
  • Employee ID Alignment: Concur `EmployeeID` is linked to a Syspro internal employee or a Syspro `Customer/Supplier` for reimbursement.
  • Amount & Currency Conversion: Ensure numerical amounts are correctly formatted and currency conversions are handled if multi-currency transactions are present.
  • Date Formatting: Standardize date formats (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD) for compatibility.
  • Conditional Logic: Apply rules like 'If ExpenseType is 'Personal', do not post to Syspro GL'.
  • Aggregation: Sum Concur `Expense Entry` amounts to derive `TotalAmount` for Syspro `Journal Entry` header.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Concur API rate limit exceeded (handled by queuing/retries).
  • Syspro `GL Account` not found/inactive (flagged for manual correction or default assignment).
  • Mismatch between Concur `VendorID` and Syspro `SupplierCode` (requires lookup or new `Supplier` creation).
  • Network connectivity issues between iPaaS and Concur/Syspro (handled by retries).
  • Data validation failure (e.g., negative expense amount) preventing Syspro posting.

This drastically reduces manual effort, improves data accuracy, and provides proactive insights for better spend management.

Low-Code/No-Code FAQs

What are the benefits of low-code/no-code for Concur and Syspro integrations?
Low-code/no-code tools empower finance and operations teams to build and modify Concur-Syspro workflows without extensive coding. This accelerates development cycles, reduces reliance on IT, and allows business users to quickly adapt automation to changing policies or operational needs, such as custom approval routing, data validation rules, or new expense categories, ensuring agility and faster time-to-value.

Financial Workflows FAQs

How do you handle corporate credit card transaction reconciliation with Concur and Syspro?
We automate this by integrating with corporate card providers to import daily transaction feeds into Concur. Our iPaaS then facilitates intelligent matching of these transactions with employee-submitted receipts and expense entries within Concur. Once reconciled and approved, the expense data is transformed and posted to Syspro's General Ledger, ensuring accurate financial recording and significantly reducing manual effort for finance teams.

Security & Compliance FAQs

What are the key security considerations for Concur and Syspro API integrations?
Key considerations include using OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication to both Concur and Syspro Harmony APIs, encrypting all data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest, implementing the principle of least privilege for integration user accounts, and maintaining comprehensive audit trails. Regular security audits and adherence to compliance standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR are also crucial to protect sensitive financial and employee data.
