Proposal

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

Mark as cash appears in the report

What is the root cause of that problem?

We always show the Mark as cash button if all transactions are pending RTER Violations then if two transactions are pending RTER Violations this button appears. But this button should only appear in the combined or transaction thread reports.

App/src/components/MoneyReportHeader.tsx

Lines 168 to 169 in d687284

	const shouldShowMarkAsCashButton =
	hasAllPendingRTERViolations || (shouldShowBrokenConnectionViolation && (!isPolicyAdmin(policy) || isCurrentUserSubmitter(moneyRequestReport?.reportID)));

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

We should add the check !!transactionThreadReportID here so it only shows the button if the report is the one expense report.

const shouldShowMarkAsCashButton =
        !!transactionThreadReportID &&
        (hasAllPendingRTERViolations || (shouldShowBrokenConnectionViolation && (!isPolicyAdmin(policy) || isCurrentUserSubmitter(moneyRequestReport?.reportID))));

App/src/components/MoneyReportHeader.tsx

Lines 168 to 169 in d687284

	const shouldShowMarkAsCashButton =
	hasAllPendingRTERViolations || (shouldShowBrokenConnectionViolation && (!isPolicyAdmin(policy) || isCurrentUserSubmitter(moneyRequestReport?.reportID)));

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

This is an UI issue so I don't think we need to add the test. Or

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA

@MitchExpensify I can reproduce this with these steps. I can take over.

1. Create two expenses in an expense report
2. Follow this PR Add markAsCash button with wired up action for dismissing the rter violation #41835 to mock data for RTER violation for two transactions above
3. Do not reopen each transaction report because that would clear the mock data
4. Then you can see the Mark as cash button appears in the header of the expense report with two transactions
