Slack conversation: https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C049HHMV9SM/p1728035150766409

Action Performed:

1. On a NetSuite connected workspace, create a Expensify Card transaction and do not add a category
2. Approve report
3. Check comments to see that report exports to NetSuite
4. Search for short report ID in NetSuite to see that only one of the two Expensify Card continuous reconciliation journal entries are created

Expected Result:

Report should have failed to export to Netsuite due to the missing category

Actual Result:

Report ID: R007t1xbGXzI (Long ID: 1722180945176716) has 2 Expensify Card expenses which are uncategorised (despite it being mandatory) but manually approved and the report then exported to NetSuite when it should have failed to export due to the missing category. The issue with this is that only one of the two Expensify Card continuous reconciliation journal entries which should be created per expense were created resulting in the financial data in NetSuite being inaccurate.

Workaround:

Unknown
