You perform this using a CSV file.
For details, refer to the following page:
Creating and Editing Departments in Bulk

You can add any number of departments with the same names by specifying a unique department code to each department, to handle the case like the example below where "Group 1" and "Group 2" exist in multiple departments.

There are two ways to enter the department code.

• Method 1: Manually entered by an administrator
  Administrators can configure the descriptive code that tells what kind of department it is (for example, "domestic_sales_group1").

• Method 2: Automatically entered by the system (no action performed by administrators)
  You cannot specify the string to be used for the department code since it is configured by the system.
  When you add a new department, it is easier and recommended to let the system decide the department code which can be changed later as needed.
