# We can not approve expense report in NetSuite because the expense account is not approved.

## Error message

```plaintext
We can not approve expense report in NetSuite because the expense account is not approved.
```

## Affected ERP integrations

- Oracle NetSuite

## Cause

This error occurs when Payhawk has automatically approved expense reports in Oracle NetSuite, but the expense account mapped to the expense category has not been approved in the ERP.

## Solution

To resolve this issue:

1. Go to the category settings in Payhawk and identify the **A/P** account mapped to the category.
2. Navigate to that **A/P** account in Oracle NetSuite and approve it.
3. Retry the expense report export.
