How to get an invoice for an FCM managed flight booking

Follow these instructions to access the FCM supported portal which allows you to locate and download copies of tax invoices for any flight bookings you have managed through FCM (University Travel Provider).

Reset your corporate card PIN

You can request to reset your Personal Identification Number (PIN) if you have forgotten or would like to change your PIN number. This number is required to make purchases of goods and services over $100 on behalf of the University when using a corporate card.

Make a non-preferred booking in Concur

A non-preferred booking is when travel-related expenses are booked using an alternative booking channel to the preferred University travel provider. A non-preferred booking can be made under the following circumstances: where travel requires specific capabilities that the University travel provider cannot supply and can be organised through a different booking channel only, or where a third party can offer cheaper pricing than the preferred booking channel at the same level of safety with quoted evidence. You must contact FCM to attempt a price match before you can book outside FCM.

A travel request must still be made in Concur and approved by your line manager before you can travel.

Check my corporate card balance / limit

You would check your corporate card balance or limit to track your purchases for the month and therefore make informed decisions about future expenditure.

Request a cash advance in Concur

You can request a travel or non-travel cash advance for the following:

  • to cover expenses for research participants
  • whilst you are travelling on approved University business to locations where your corporate card cannot be used.

Travel and non-travel cash advance procedures apply to University employees who do not have a corporate card. Once approved by your Line Manager in Concur, the cash advance will be transferred into your nominated bank account within 10 days prior to your departure. Please request the cash advance as early as possible, to ensure you receive it in a timely manner.
