Oracle NetSuite Sync Error: USER_ERROR: Please enter value(s) for: Department

Why the Sync Error occurs

This error occurs if Departments are set as a mandatory classification in NetSuite, but a default Department hasn't been selected in the Bill.com Preferences in NetSuite.


How to Fix the Sync Error

Confirm that Departments are a mandatory classification in NetSuite:

  1. In NetSuite, go to Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences
  2. Under Classifications, locate Make Departments Mandatory

If the preference is checked (enabled), proceed to set a default Department in the Bill.com Preferences in NetSuite:

  1. In NetSuite, go to Customization > List, Records, & Fields > Record Types
  2. Select List to the right of Bill.com Preferences
  3. Select Edit against the subsidiary name
  4. Select the Transactions subtab
  5. Enter a value in the Default Payables Department field
