This is a BE issue we are already dealing with it here Tagging @luacmartins

@luacmartins should we close this as a dupe?

[luacmartins]

yea, we can close as a dupe.

@luacmartins I am sorry but on a second thought I see that this is a different API CATEGORIZE_TRACKED_EXPENSE not ConvertTrackedExpenseToRequest so don't forget to handle that and also SHARE_TRACKED_EXPENSE API.
