  Expense indicator is a feature in SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) that allows users to assign a specific expense type to a particular supplier. This helps to track and manage expenses related to the supplier, such as travel, entertainment, and other costs. The expense indicator can be used to generate reports and analyze spending patterns. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the expense indicator, users must first create an expense type in the SRM system. This can be done by selecting the “Create Expense Type” option from the menu. Once the expense type is created, users can assign it to a particular supplier by selecting the “Assign Expense Type” option from the menu. The expense indicator will then be associated with that supplier and all expenses related to that supplier will be tracked and managed accordingly.
