A travel request through Concur is required to ensure proper approval for travel has been obtained prior to the purchase of any travel related expenses. Request is used to provide the approver/supervisor with the ability to understand the overall cost of the trip and determine whether or not they are willing to cover all costs associated with this trip. Requests can be allocated to multiple function numbers, if departments are splitting the cost of an employee’s travel. The approved travel request is also used to ensure an adequate credit limit is established on traveler’s card for the duration of the trip and to cover any pre-trip expenses (i.e. airline costs, conference fees, deposits, etc).

The LeTourneau University Travel Program has been implemented in order to provide competitive pricing for University Travelers. Discounted rates are based on volume (the more travelers who use the system, the better the rates); therefore, University travelers
booking through Concur and CTP will allow the University to negotiate the best
rates with airlines. It also ensures that any LETU Frequent Travel Programs are being utilized. For example, LETU has a business extra account with AA, with this travelers receive their personal points, but LETU also receives points which LETU can then use towards free tickets to help in reducing the overall cost of the travel at University.

related expenses must go through Concur.
