The following is a list and explanation of each of the fields you can include when importing departments.
Important Note: If you sync with an accounting software, we highly suggest not manually importing departments via CSV into Bill.com, unless they don't exist in your accounting software at all, to avoid duplicates and sync errors
If you sync with QuickBooks Desktop, you can't import departments/classes, as departments/classes sync from QuickBooks Desktop to Bill.com only.
