@slafortune FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

We think that this bug might be related to #wave-collect - Release 1

Proposal

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

The amount in report preview button and in expense report button is different.

What is the root cause of that problem?

In report preview, we always use the total amount of the expense.

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/ReportPreview.tsx

Lines 205 to 208 in 68374a5

	const getDisplayAmount = (): string => {
	if (totalDisplaySpend) {
	return CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(totalDisplaySpend, iouReport?.currency);
	}

In expense report header, we use the reimbursableSpend for the amount.

App/src/components/MoneyReportHeader.tsx

Line 123 in 68374a5

const formattedAmount = CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(reimbursableSpend, moneyRequestReport.currency);

The expense report header also have more condition to show the amount, for example, if there is an held expense, then we only show the non-hold amount.

App/src/components/MoneyReportHeader.tsx

Line 125 in 68374a5

const displayedAmount = ReportUtils.hasHeldExpenses(moneyRequestReport.reportID) && canAllowSettlement ? nonHeldAmount : formattedAmount;

But if every expense are held, then we don't show the amount.

App/src/components/MoneyReportHeader.tsx

Line 242 in 68374a5

formattedAmount={!ReportUtils.hasOnlyHeldExpenses(moneyRequestReport.reportID) ? displayedAmount : ''}

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

To make it consistent, we can follow the condition/logic from the expense report header. We will create a new function called getSettlementAmount which will use the reimbursableSpend as the amount and take the other condition from the expense report header.

const getSettlementAmount = () => {
    if all is on hold: return empty
    if has held expense and allow settlement: return non held amount
    
    return CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(reimbursableSpend, iouReport?.currency);
}

Also, I found that it's possible that the amount is 0 when we have 1 submitted expense and 1 tracked expense and hold the submitted expense. The non-held amount in this case will be -0. If we don't want to show 0, then we can return an empty string if it's 0.

whattt I thought I posted a comment here yesterday. Well, it said basically:

This proposal makes sense! But, I want to confirm internally to make sure there's not a specific reason that these DON'T currently match (like, from an accounting or other perspective). I've asked in Slack and should hear back soon! (internal link: https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C03U7DCU4/p1719527792898199)

[dangrous]

reasked, that was a bad time to do it I think. Hopefully will have an answer soon! If I hear nothing, I think we can move forward because to me it seems to make sense that they should match.

[dangrous]

rude, melvin.

[dangrous]

Okay after discussing internally, we're closing this out as expected behavior - thanks so much for the proposal and review @thesahindia and @bernhardoj

Basically the thought is the preview shows all charges, the pay button only shows what you can actually pay currently, and so both serve different purposes.
