<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As part of <a href="https://bfs.ucr.edu/enhancements">Phase 1</a> financial system improvements, there is a commitment to enhancing processes to serve the campus community better. A key focus is optimizing the Concur Travel and Expense
system, specifically the PCard Expense Report process, for greater efficiency by year-end.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Transition to Weekly PCard Expense Reports</b><br>
October monthly statements should be processed as usual. Beginning in November, U.S. Bank monthly statements will be transitioned into weekly Concur expense reports, with transactions organized by their posting date. This change is designed to accelerate processing
and ensure transactions are posted promptly to the Oracle General Ledger and reflected in financial reports.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<i>During the transition from monthly to weekly statements, some additional statements, including those with overlapping dates, may be generated. This is expected as part of the cutover process.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>PCard Expense Report Processing</b><br>
The <a href="https://procurement.ucr.edu/pcard#pcard-expense-reporting">PCard Expense Reporting</a> webpage provides detailed information on the updated process. It also includes a new recommended weekly reconciliation calendar to help departments ensure transactions
are approved and posted promptly. A guide to assist with processing in Concur is available
