# Invalid document date

## Error message

```plaintext
Invalid document date.
```

## Affected ERP integrations

- DATEV
- Exact Online
- MS Business Central
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations
- Oracle NetSuite
- QuickBooks Online

## Cause

This error occurs when the document date of the expense could not be validated against the pre-set date range in the integration service, which is five years in both directions (past and future).

## Solution

To resolve this issue:

1. In the [Payhawk Web Portal](https://portal.payhawk.com), go to **Spend**.
2. Click on the expense that failed to export to open its details view. To find it quickly, filter by **Export status** and select **Failed**.
3. Check and edit the **Document date** field. Ensure the date is correct and falls within the valid five-year range.
4. Click on **Save** and try to export the expense again.
