Resolved after 9 hours 20 minutes, affecting Expense, on March 13, 2026.
Impact as Reported: SAP Concur Expense customers experienced an issue itemizing hotel expenses. Affected users encounter the following error after clicking the itemizations tab within a new or existing expense, “Before you can continue, you must provide valid information for: Date Range.” The error is encountered despite having a date range populated. Legacy Expense customers are not affected. A potential workaround for this issue has been identified. Users may be able to bypass this issue by reattempting itemization steps after receiving the error. Root cause: A performance improvement change deployed to the expense service inadvertently introdcued a cache synchronization issue that could result in stale date being returned for the hotel range date fields to the form entry validation UI code, with an error being presented to the user preventing hotel expense itemization. Once the issue was raised and the offending change identified, the code was rolled back to restore service.
