• Key Concepts: 
  Location category is a feature of SAP Expense and Reimbursement Management (AP-ERM FIN) that allows users to categorize their locations for easier tracking and reporting. It is used to group locations into categories such as “home office”, “travel”, or “client site”. This helps users to quickly identify and report on expenses related to each location category. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the location category feature, users must first create a location category in the system. This can be done by navigating to the “Location Categories” tab in the AP-ERM FIN application. From there, users can add new categories and assign them to specific locations. Once the categories are created, users can then assign expenses to the appropriate location category when entering them into the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating location categories, it is important to consider how they will be used for reporting purposes. For example, if a user wants to track expenses related to client sites, they should create a separate category for each client site rather than one generic “client site” category. This will make it easier to generate reports that are specific to each client site.
