Version Number: 9.0.66-0 Reproducible in staging?: y Reproducible in production?: y If this was caught on HybridApp, is this reproducible on New Expensify Standalone?: If this was caught during regression testing, add the test name, ID and link from TestRail: Email or phone of affected tester (no customers): Logs: https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/4856 Expensify/Expensify Issue URL: Issue reported by: @neil-marcellini Slack conversation (hyperlinked to channel name): Expensify-billpay

Action Performed:

1. Go to staging.new.expensify.com
2. Create a workspace if needed
3. Go to More features, scroll down and enable Invoices
4. Click green plus, Send invoice
5. [User A] Send an invoice to User B
6. [User B] Go to invoice chat and pay the invoice as business
7. [User A] Go to invoice report
8. [User A] Click Add bank account
9. [User A] Note that the button leads to Invoices on workspace settings
10. [User A] Click Add bank account and add a bank account
11. [User A] Go back to workspace chat

    Expected Result:

    After adding a bank account for the invoice report the user should be navigated back to it, and the add bank account button should be gone. We could potentially have a system message saying that they added a bank account to receive the invoice payment. Also, maybe instead of directing the the workspace settings after clicking add bank account, we should instead have an informational page at the end of the flow in the RHP that explains the account has been added as the invoice transfer bank account.

    Actual Result:

    The add bank account button on the invoice report navigates to settings, then after adding it you land back on the settings page and have to manually navigate back to the invoice report. Additionally, the add bank account button will remain present until you go to invoicing settings, click on the overflow menu of the bank account, and make it the default payment method.

    Workaround:

    unknown

I think this is a dupe of https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/50474

Unassigning since this isn't a quality issue

[johncschuster]

Agreed. I think this fits into #expense better. I also think this behavior is expected. I've raised a discussion here to chat about it.
