Hi, I can understand your concern. We have also considered to design reimbursements as you proposed. But based on my friends' experiences as treasurer, normally the treasurers reimburse the members after the CCA finishes an event. And the treasurers normally pay the total amount to the member in one go and then check the finances of the CCA to make sure it is balanced.
In summary, we designed current done command based on the following 2 considerations:
- The treasurer doesn't have to reimburse item by item and key in done by done as it is time consuming and troublesome because the bank account transaction is normally done in one go.
- This done feature (pay the total amount) meets most of the treasurers' needs based on our talk with our friends.
Additionally, please note that this is a suggestion and not a bug.
Thanks for pointing this out!

As shown in the screenshot, after adding alot of reimbursements to be claimed to Alex and using the command:
done p/Alex Yeoh
All of his items to be reimbursed disppears and is marked as done.
This makes the feature extremely less useful than it should be. If I'm Alex, and I have to claim my money for each item individually from different people, I have to manually keep track that I've claimed the money for every single item before being able to mark my claim as done, else i'll lose the rest of the items which i have not claimed.
