## TL;DR

The expense is legitimate but over the policy limit, so Concur flags it as an exception rather than auto-approving. Add a business justification comment, attach supporting documentation (invoice, agenda), and submit; the report routes to a higher approver for the exception decision.

## Error

```text
SAP Concur: amount exceeds limit exception
```

## Steps

1. Open the exception and read the limit it cites (per-transaction, daily, or per-category). Expected: you know the threshold and how far over the expense is.
2. Confirm the charge is business-legitimate and check whether pre-approval exists (email, approval form). Expected: you have the justification facts.
3. Add a comment on the expense line explaining the business reason and attach supporting documents. Expected: the exception shows your justification inline.
4. Submit the report. Expected: it routes to the exception approver instead of bouncing.
5. If over-limit charges are routine for your role, ask your manager about a limit increase or standing pre-approval. Expected: fewer exceptions going forward.

## When to use

- Concur flags an expense with an amount-exceeds-limit exception.
- The charge is legitimate business spend that needs exception approval.

## When not to use

- The charge is personal or out of policy (it should stay rejected).
- You want to split a charge to dodge the limit (that is policy evasion; do not do it).

## Tool compatibility

- SAP Concur Expense; limits set by your Concur admin per policy.

## Variant phrasings

### Expense amount exceeds the allowed limit

Same exception, alternate wording.

### Over-limit exception on expense line

The line-level form of the same flag.

## Why it happens

Concur amount limits are hard audit rules. Anything over the threshold cannot self-approve; it must carry justification to a higher approver who can grant the exception.
