Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Scanning expense can be approved as 0.00 amount and can not be edited

What is the root cause of that problem?

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/ReportPreview.tsx

Line 319 in 2190f62

const shouldShowApproveButton = useMemo(() => IOU.canApproveIOU(iouReport, policy), [iouReport, policy]);

for the approval button we do not check if the unheldamount is not 0, so we don't approve it.

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/ReportPreview.tsx

Line 339 in 2190f62

const shouldShowScanningSubtitle = numberOfScanningReceipts === 1 && numberOfRequests === 1;

if there are several money requests this check is going to return false, like in our case here, (there are two transactions so numberOfRequests is 2 ) and so the scanning subtitle is not shown.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

for the approval button we need to check also if the unheld total is not 0:
const shouldShowApproveButton = useMemo(() => IOU.canApproveIOU(iouReport, policy) && Number(nonHeldAmount) !== 0, [iouReport, policy, nonHeldAmount] );

for the scanning subtitle we need to check as well if there's a scan still being done and unheldamount is 0 :

const shouldShowScanningSubtitle = (numberOfScanningReceipts === 1 && numberOfRequests === 1) || (numberOfScanningReceipts >= 1 && Number(nonHeldAmount) === 0);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

PR is ready for review,

@eVoloshchak @grgia I'm here to ask what was the logic behind the fix here, was it to not allow Approve while a scan expense is still scanning OR is it to not allow approval if the transaction amount is 0 ?

The expected result states:

Approver should not be able to approve scanning expense

• Asking because in issue [HOLD for payment 2024-11-18] [$250] Hybrid iOS app –IOU –Approval button is missing after payment of the report with hold expense #50932 I proposed to change the canApproveIOU implementation of unheldTotalIsZero added by the PR from this issue to not allow Approve while a scan expense is still scanning, but this will still allow approval once the scanning is finished if the user doesn't do anything about the errors, like adding an amount - the transaction can still be approved with amount 0 for example.
• More details about my proposed change / fix can be found here in my proposal: [HOLD for payment 2024-11-18] [$250] Hybrid iOS app –IOU –Approval button is missing after payment of the report with hold expense #50932 (comment)

Wdyt ?

[melvin-bot]

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @eVoloshchak, @lschurr, @grgia, @M00rish eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!
