Concur

Configuring the Veza integration for Concur

Overview

Concur is an enterprise-level expense management platform that automates expense reports, approvals, and payments. The integration facilitates data exchange between Veza and Concur, for user and role discovery.

Configuring Concur

Pre-requisites

Before configuring Concur, you must create a new integration application within Concur and generate OAuth 2.0 credentials. Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the OAuth 2.0 Application Management screen in Concur and create a new app.

    • Provide a name and description for the app.

  2. Add allowed grants:

    • refresh_token, password

  3. Add allowed scopes:

    • openid, identity.user.core.read, identity.user.enterprise.read, identity.user.ids.read, identity.company.core.read, spend.user.general.read, identity.user.coresensitive.read.

  4. Submit and note down the Client ID and Client Secret values.

  5. Go to the Company Request Token page. Enter the app ID and click submit.

  6. Note the Company UUID and Request Token. You will exchange the temporary token for a refresh token prior to configuring the integration in Veza.

Generating a Refresh Token

Use the curl command to obtain a refresh token. This command must be run within 24 hours of generating the request token.

Replace placeholders with the actual Client ID, Client Secret, Company UUID, and Request Token:

# Replace placeholders with actual values
curl --location 'https://us.api.concursolutions.com/oauth2/v0/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=password' \
--data-urlencode 'username=YOUR_COMPANY_UUID' \
--data-urlencode 'password=YOUR_REQUEST_TOKEN' \
--data-urlencode 'credtype=authtoken'

From the response, collect the refresh_token value, and use it to configure the integration in Veza.

  1. In Veza, open the Integrations page.

  2. Click Add New and pick Concur as the type of integration to add
