Partial reimbursement not allowed

[nus-pe-bot]

Currently, I can only mark a reimbursement as done, which then removes the reimbursement. But the person could have paid only a partial amount. Personally I think it would be more logical to have a command in the reimbursement tab which reduces the payment due by some amount.

E.g. paid p/Alex Yeoh c/10.00

Team's Response

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:

1. 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.
2. 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!
