# I cannot submit an expense

If the expense category field is set as required for submission and no options are available to select, it's possible that your Payhawk Administrator hasn't configured any values in the system yet. As a result, you won't be able to submit the expense until values are added.

In such cases, contact your Payhawk Administrator to ensure the necessary values are set up. ​
