SAP Certified - Configuration Consultant - Concur Invoice Professional Edition

Independent, reasoning-first practice for the SAP® C_CI325 Concur Invoice configuration certification, built for the 2026 Scenario-Based Assessment format.

Who it's for: Configuration and support consultants — plus administrators or data analysts moving into a Concur Invoice role — who want a recognized credential proving they can configure and administer Concur Invoice Professional Edition and contribute as a member of an implementation project team.

The SAP® C_CI325 certification checks whether you can actually configure and administer Concur Invoice Professional Edition, not merely describe it. It spans the primary configuration layer — the global template and the configuration relationship model, list management, forms and fields with validation, vendor maintenance, expense types and account codes, approval workflows, feature hierarchy, company locations, policies, group configuration, and purchase-order number sequences — and the secondary layer of administrative tooling, including company administration and user permissions, processor queues, the AP dashboard, audit rules, capture-processing and purchase-order matching, delegate settings, reporting, and routing. Because it is delivered as a Scenario-Based Assessment, the exam rewards applied execution: you work through a realistic scenario and perform the configuration and administration steps in a Concur Invoice environment rather than answer isolated recall questions. The content is written for the consultant and support-consultant profile at an intermediate, project-participation depth.

What the exam covers

The blueprint areas to focus your preparation on.

Primary Configuration Foundations

Understanding how Concur Invoice's primary configuration fits together — the global template, the configuration relationship diagram that shows how components interact, and the primary configuration tools — so you can see how one setting influences behavior, compliance, and reliability across the invoice environment.

List Management, Forms & Fields

Configuring the data structures the platform depends on — custom and imported lists, form types and forms, standard and connected fields, form fields, and validation — so that documents capture the right information and behave consistently for end users.

Vendors, Expense Types & Account Codes

Maintaining the master data behind invoice processing — importing and managing approved and unapproved vendors, vendor access mapping, default and activated expense types, account codes, and general ledgers — so postings and coding default correctly downstream.

Workflows, Approvals, Policies & Groups

Building the routing and control layer — workflows, invoice approval statuses, email notifications, invoice and purchase-request approvers and cost-object approvers, reason codes and categories, policy configuration, and employee and invoice group configuration — that governs how documents move and who acts on them.

Administrative Tools & Processing Queues

Administering the operational side of Concur Invoice — back-office tools, company administration and user permissions, proxying, purchase-request, purchase-order and invoice processor queues and preferences, and the AP dashboard for captures, payments, and reimbursements.

Audit Rules & Secondary Compliance Configuration

Configuring the secondary components that strengthen control — custom audit rules and exception messages, unrestricted required configuration, capture-processing administration, purchase-order matching rules, email reminders, and delegate configuration for invoice and purchase-request users.

Reporting, Routing & Shared Settings

Handling shared administrative and reporting configuration — change logs, company notes, configuration reports, payable currencies and invoice settings, custom labels, test users, Cognos reporting preferences and fiscal calendars, routing hierarchy mappings, and purchase-request and invoice-specific settings.

Recommended learning path

The SAP learning-journey courses this certification draws on.

How to prepare

  1. 1Study the primary configuration as one connected system — start from the global template and the configuration relationship diagram so you can trace how a list, form, or field choice ripples into vendors, expense types, and workflows downstream.
  2. 2Drill forms and fields together with validation: form types, connected lists, and form fields shape what a document captures, and validation rules gate what the system accepts — the two are frequently examined as a combined configuration task.
  3. 3Treat workflow and approval setup as its own study block — practise approval statuses, invoice and purchase-request approvers, cost-object approvers, and reason codes, since small differences change how a document routes and who acts on it.
  4. 4Rehearse the secondary administrative tools hands-on: processor queues, the AP dashboard, audit rules, and purchase-order matching each behave differently, and understanding how they interact prevents avoidable errors under scenario conditions.
  5. 5Work through audit-rule and capture-processing scenarios end to end — exception messages, unrestricted required configuration, and purchase-order matching rules are high-value topics where the correct outcome depends on how the upstream primary configuration was set up.
