SilverRail Section 1: IMPORTANT – About this Guide Be aware of the following: • Infinite variables: Certain scenarios have an infinite number of variables or extremely unusual circumstances, like rare cancellation or refund situations. So, not all scenarios can be presented in this guide. Also, certain processes may be influenced by third- or fourth-party providers. In some cases, you must contact the provider directly. • User interface, fees, rates, schedules: When other providers change their user interface (for example, web site) or their fees/rates/schedules, they are under no obligation to make SAP Concur aware of those changes. If a screen sample in this guide is outdated because of a change made by a provider, we will update that screen sample when we become aware of the change and at our earliest convenience. • Permissions: A company's admin may or may not have the correct permissions to manage the feature described in this guide. If an admin needs to manage this feature and does not have the proper permissions, they should contact the company's SAP Concur administrator. Also, the admin should be aware that some of the tasks described in this guide cannot be completed by the company. In this case, the client must contact their TMC (if a TMC provides their support) or SAP Concur (if SAP Concur provides their support). Section 2: Overview SilverRail, SAP Concur's train aggregator partner, provides Swedish content and is an asset to Concur Travel users worldwide. By integrating the SilverRail content, it has become easier than ever to book train travel in Concur Travel. The integrated solution provides users a fully integrated train travel search, discount cards, and the opportunity to take advantage of corporate discounts. The current supported provider is Swedish Rail. More providers will be coming in the future. Instant Purchase Carrier SilverRail is an Instant Purchase carrier so trips on hold are not supported.
