# Failed to export into MS Business Central. The Payment journal cannot be found in MS Business Central.

## Error message

```plaintext
Failed to export into MS Business Central. The Payment journal cannot be found in MS Business Central.
```

## Affected ERP integrations

- MS Business Central

## Cause

This error occurs when the **Payment journal** that was previously configured in Payhawk has been removed or renamed in MS Business Central. The Payhawk system is unaware of this change because the configuration has not been updated in the Payhawk Web Portal.

## Solution

To resolve this issue:

1. In the [Payhawk Web Portal](https://portal.payhawk.com), go to **Settings** > **Integrations**.
2. On the **MS Business Central** integration, click on the three-dot menu and select **Edit configuration**.
3. On the **Data mapping** screen, find the **Payment Journal** field and select a new, valid journal from the drop-down list.

4. Click on **Save changes**.
5. In the [Payhawk Web Portal](https://portal.payhawk.com), return to **Spend** and try to export the expense again.
