Cause

This error is returned by Oracle NetSuite when attempting to update an expense with changes that the ERP does not permit.

  2. Navigate to the expense record.

  3. Manually update the employee or other modified fields to match the current Payhawk expense.

  4. Return to Payhawk and retry the export.

Identify and revert recent changes

  1. Review what changes were made to the expense in Payhawk after the previous export.

  2. Either revert those changes in Payhawk or manually apply them in Oracle NetSuite before re-exporting.

Delete and re-export the expense

  1. Delete the expense record in the ERP.

  2. Return to Payhawk and export the expense again.
