api alternative, corporate travel expense automation --\u003e\n\n## What This Is\n\n**SAP Concur** (Travel/Expense) is notoriously difficult to automate via its official API — limited endpoints, complex authentication (Okta / Azure AD / ADFS), and browser-only workflows make traditional API integration a pain.\n\nThis project gives you a **complete browser automation scaffold** for SAP Concur using Puppeteer (self-hosted, open source) or [Anchor Browser](https://anchorbrowser.io) (cloud, managed, production-ready).\n\nThis system requires **MFA** (Okta / Azure MFA / Duo). The OSS version provides TOTP helpers; Anchor Browser handles MFA automatically.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/Browser-Automation-Hub/sap-concur-browser-automation.git\ncd sap-concur-browser-automation\nnpm install\ncp .env.example .env\n# Fill in your credentials in .env\nnode examples/basic-login.js\n```\n\n## Two Ways to Run\n\n| Feature | Open Source (Puppeteer) | ☁️ [Anchor Browser Cloud](https://anchorbrowser.io) |\n|---------|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|\n| Setup | Install Chrome + Puppeteer locally | No install — cloud browsers via API |\n| MFA / SSO | Manual TOTP helper included | **Auto-handled** |\n| CAPTCHA | Not handled | **Auto-solved** |\n| Anti-bot detection | You manage proxy/stealth | **Built-in stealth** (Cloudflare-verified) |\n| Session persistence | Save/load cookies manually | **Managed sessions** |\n| Scale | Single machine | **Up to 5,000 concurrent browsers** |\n| Reliability | You maintain it | **99.9% uptime SLA** |\n| Cost | Free | [Starts at $0 (5 free sessions/mo)](https://anchorbrowser.io) |\n\n## Supported Actions\n\n- `login_concur()` — Authenticate to SAP Concur with enterprise SSO/MFA\n- `submit_expense_report()` — Create and submit expense reports with line items\n- `upload_receipts()` — Attach receipt images to expense line items\n- `approve_expense_report()` — Batch-approve expense reports in manager queue\n- `extract_spend_data()` — Export T\u0026E spend data and analytics reports\n\n## Use Cases\n\n- Finance teams automating expense reconciliation\n- Mass expense report processing\n- Travel policy enforcement automation\n- T\u0026E data extraction for ERP integration\n\n---\n\n## Option A: Open Source (Puppeteer)\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Node.js 18+\n- Google Chrome / Chromium installed\n- SAP Concur account with appropriate permissions\n\n### Installation\n\n```bash\nnpm install\ncp .env.example .env\n```\n\n### Configuration (`.env`)\n\n```env\nCONCUR_URL=https://www.concursolutions.com/nui/signin\nCONCUR_USERNAME=your-username\nCONCUR_PASSWORD=your-password\nMFA_SECRET=your-totp-secret-if-applicable\nSESSION_PATH=./session.json\n```\n\n### Basic Login Example\n\n```javascript\nconst { createSession } = require('./src/auth');\nconst { login_concur } = require('./src/actions');\n\nasync function main() {\n  const page = await createSession();\n  const result = await login_concur(page, { /* options */ });\n  console.log(result);\n}\n\nmain().catch(console.error);\n```\n\n### File Structure\n\n```\nsap-concur-browser-automation/\n├── src/\n│   ├── auth.js              #
