# Select expense amount

## Error message

```plaintext
Please select expense amount.
```

## Affected ERP integrations

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

## Cause

This error occurs when the total expense amount is 0 (zero). Payhawk cannot export expenses with a zero amount to your ERP integration.

## 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 the expense **Amount** field. If it shows 0 or is empty, enter the correct amount.
4. Click on **Save** and try to export the expense again.

> [!TIP]
> If the expense genuinely has no amount, for example, it was created by mistake, consider deleting the expense instead of exporting it.
