Integrate SAP Concur Into Your Product Without an API
The Integration Barrier
SAP Concur has an API, but accessing it requires going through SAP’s App Center partner program — a certification process designed for established software vendors, not for product teams that need expense and travel data flowing into their platform quickly. Concur is deeply embedded in enterprise finance workflows, which means the integration demand is high and the official API path is slow. Deck pulls structured Concur data for your product without partner certification or developer investment.

FAQ
Does SAP Concur have a public API?
Concur offers API access through SAP’s App Center, but getting listed requires certification as an App Center partner — a process that takes months. Deck is available now.
What Concur data can Deck extract?
Expense reports with line items and approval status, receipt records and images, travel bookings across flights and hotels, reimbursement status, per-diem and mileage records, and policy violation flags.
Does Deck work with enterprise SAP Concur deployments?
Yes. Concur deployments vary significantly in configuration and policy rules. Deck connects using the user’s credentials and extracts data from the instance as-is.
Can Deck pull Concur data for multiple enterprise customers?
Yes. Each customer is an isolated session; your API call specifies which account you’re pulling from and Deck returns that account’s data.
How does Deck handle Concur’s MFA?
Multi-factor authentication is resolved automatically by Deck Vault at the start of each session. No one needs to be online to handle it.
