Proposal

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

Distance and Rate show “Pending” when tracking via Just track it route

What is the root cause of that problem?

When we click on Just track it, we don't set the customUnitRateID as we do here

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/9f92c5e7850301b3b04efe80814a4790188fdde5/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepParticipants.tsx#L164

Then the mileageRate in the confirmation page here is undefined based on this logic

Which causes isDistanceRequestWithPendingRoute is true

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/9f92c5e7850301b3b04efe80814a4790188fdde5/src/components/MoneyRequestConfirmationList.tsx#L290

and waypoints pendingField is added as add which makes Pending... is displayed for distance and rate field https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/9f92c5e7850301b3b04efe80814a4790188fdde5/src/components/MoneyRequestConfirmationList.tsx#L664-L678

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

We should update the customUnitRateID when we click on Just track it button here. Optionally, we can only do it if the request is distance request.

const rateID = DistanceRequestUtils.getCustomUnitRateID(selfDMReportID, !canUseP2PDistanceRequests);
IOU.setCustomUnitRateID(transactionID, rateID);

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/9f92c5e7850301b3b04efe80814a4790188fdde5/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepParticipants.tsx#L164

OPTIONAL: We can also update the reportID of the draft transaction to selfDMReportID

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We can do this logic inside setMoneyRequestParticipantsFromReport function

[s77rt]

@nkdengineer Thanks for the proposal. Your RCA makes sense. Do you know at what stage we set the comment.customUnit.customUnitRateID when using the FAB Track Expense option?

[nkdengineer]

@s77rt When using FAB Track expense the customUnitRateID is updated here.

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/a4c8de60b4cdcd99aad0089ce73c339afa5d94f9/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts#L352-L354

[s77rt]

@nkdengineer Got it! Thanks! The proposed solution looks good to me.
