Proposal

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

"Hmm it's not here" message gets visible for a second before deleting the expense

What is the root cause of that problem?

• We clear the report data and go back in:

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestView.tsx

Lines 496 to 497 in ea48de3

	const urlToNavigateBack = IOU.cleanUpMoneyRequest(transaction?.transactionID ?? linkedTransactionID, parentReportAction, true);
	Navigation.goBack(urlToNavigateBack);

• When the go-back action is not finished, and the onyx data is updated successfully, the "Hmm its not here" screen is displayed for a while.

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

• Remove the code:

App/src/pages/home/ReportScreen.tsx

Line 272 in c3d33fc

wasReportAccessibleRef.current = false;

will fix the issue because if the report is visited before, there is no not here page is displayed anymore.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

• We should go back successfully and then clear the report data.

• We can do it by:

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestView.tsx

Lines 496 to 497 in ea48de3

	const urlToNavigateBack = IOU.cleanUpMoneyRequest(transaction?.transactionID ?? linkedTransactionID, parentReportAction, true);
	Navigation.goBack(urlToNavigateBack);

                            const {urlToNavigateBack} = IOU.prepareToCleanUpMoneyRequest(transaction?.transactionID ?? linkedTransactionID, parentReportAction, true);
                            Navigation.goBack(urlToNavigateBack);
                            InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions(() => {
                                IOU.cleanUpMoneyRequest(transaction?.transactionID ?? linkedTransactionID, parentReportAction, true);
                            });
