Supergood | SAP Concur API
Automate SAP Concur—the travel, expense, and invoice platform used by finance teams to manage T&E spend and AP—through a reliable, unofficial REST API from Supergood. With our adapter, you can sync expense reports, ingest corporate card transactions, upload receipts, push line items, and orchestrate approvals without building brittle screen-scrapers or paying for multiple vendor-specific connectors.
In plain English: 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. The result is faster close cycles, better policy compliance, and fewer manual reconciliations.
If you’re a tech company integrating SAP Concur, you can ingest normalized expense reports and unassigned card transactions, create and enrich expense line items from receipts, sync trip itineraries into your product, and drive approvals from your own UI. You can also export reimbursable amounts to payroll or ERP, push AP invoices to accounting, and build VAT/GST reclaim workflows—without building and maintaining fragile, one-off integrations.
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
How Supergood Creates SAP Concur APIs

- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes expenses, cards, receipts, trips, invoices, taxes, and allocations into consistent objects
- Aligns with your tenant’s entitlements, regions, and policy constraints to ensure compliant access
