# Failed to export into MS Business Central. The vendor's payment method will cause a payment to be created and auto-posted for this invoice.

## Error message

```plaintext
Failed to export into MS Business Central. The vendor's payment method will cause a payment to be created and auto-posted for this invoice.
```

## Affected ERP integrations

- MS Business Central

## Cause

This error occurs when the vendor's payment method in MS Business Central is configured to automatically create and post a payment when an invoice is posted. This will result in a duplicate payment entry, one from MS Business Central's automatic posting and one from Payhawk, which is not allowed.

## Solution

To resolve this issue:

1. Log in to your MS Business Central account.
2. Navigate to the **Vendors** section.
3. Locate and open the vendor record associated with the expense that failed to export.
4. Find the **Payment Method** field in the vendor's settings.
5. Change the payment method to one that does not automatically create and post payments, for example, a manual payment method.
6. Save the changes to the vendor record.
7. Return to the Payhawk Web Portal and try to export the expense again.
