word choice - Which department work is being carried out for

I am a non-English-speaking software developer who faces difficulties with the English language.



I built a form for users submitting work for my department. The users should write down their name and the department the work will be done for. This field is labeled 'Department'. The problem is that they are putting my department as they think that is the department that will carry out the work. How should it be labeled correctly? 'Your department' seems incorrect, 'benefitting department' does not sound correct but it would be the closest to what I have in my mother tongue.
