# Department not provided. Please make sure you have mapped Departments/Teams correctly.

## Error message

```plaintext
Department not provided. Please make sure you have mapped Departments/Teams correctly.
```

## Relevant ERP integrations

- Oracle NetSuite

## Cause

**Department** is a required field in Oracle NetSuite and the mapping with Payhawk's **Teams** field is incorrect.

## Solution

Verify the **Employees**-**Departments** mapping in Payhawk.

A possible issue may be that the **Team** selected for the expense causing the error is not mapped. To resolve this, map the **Team** to the correct department: open the team and, in the **Entity visibility** section, click on **Edit**. Then select the department from the drop-down list next to the entity and click on **Save**.

If the mapping is already correct, open the expense, change the **Team** to a different one, and then switch it back to the mapped **Team** to apply the changes.
