Information on data sources & calculation



Finance/Controlling data: P&L 




It has been agreed that controlling data are the reference to measure the spend evolution and will only be adjusted with FX effect and not scope.




Also note that there is an average of 35 days lagging effect between a booking and its impact in BW, with the assumption that travellers are expensing at least once a month (policy recommendation).

Expenses :Concur Data 

There are two different Concur systems; one from Solvay and the other from Cytec legacy (expected to run until 2020). Concur is a tool were employees are claiming T&E for reimbursement. This tool is still under implementation and therefore not covering 100% of the scope.
