Explanation of Change

2.4 Update Settlement Frequency Flow

UX Flow

  • In the active state, we show a “Settlement frequency” row with the current value (“Monthly”, “Weekly”, etc.).
  • When the admin taps the row:
    • We open a simple selection UI (modal or full‑screen) showing available frequencies.
  • When the admin chooses a frequency:
    • We call the Travel Invoicing frequency action.
    • On success, the row shows the new value.

Default Value: When Travel Invoicing is first enabled, the settlement frequency defaults to Monthly (matching CONST.EXPENSIFY_CARD.FREQUENCY_SETTING.MONTHLY). This aligns with typical business billing cycles and mirrors Expensify Card behavior. Users can change to daily if preferred.

Data & Onyx
Current frequency comes from getTravelSettlementFrequency(policy) (e.g., 'monthly', 'weekly').

We map backend values to localized labels via a pure helper: getLocalizedSettlementFrequencyLabel(frequency, translate).

Actions
New function in src/libs/actions/TravelInvoicing.ts:

  • updateTravelInvoiceSettlementFrequency({policyID, frequency}):
    • Wraps UpdateTravelInvoiceSettlementFrequency.
    • Returns a Promise and surfaces failures as localized errors.

Components & reuse
Frequency selector:

  • Implemented using SelectionList + RadioListItem, same as other simple settings pickers.
  • The options array is small and static (e.g., [Daily and Monthly]) aligned with the backend.

WorkspaceTravelInvoicingSection:

  • Renders the row using MenuItem with a right‑aligned label for the localized frequency.
  • Handles the navigation to the selection screen and updates when Onyx changes.

Testing
Component tests:

  • The frequency row displays the correct label for each backend enum.
  • Selecting a new frequency triggers updateTravelInvoiceSettlementFrequency with the correct payload.

Fixed Issues

$ #78676
PROPOSAL:

Tests

Preconditions:

  • Must be on a private domain account
  • ALL or Travel Invoicing beta enabled on your account
  • in workspace settings More features enable Travel
  • workspace must have BA added in Workflows section (can be test BA)

Test 1: View Settlement Frequency Row

Steps:

  1. Navigate to Workspace > Travel
  2. Observe the "Travel Invoicing" section

Expected Results:

  • ✅ "Settlement frequency" row is visible with default value displayed as "Monthly" (first time settlement account set)
  • ✅ Row shows a right arrow indicating it's clickable

Test 2: Open Frequency Selection Screen

Steps:

  1. Tap the "Settlement frequency" row.

Expected Results:

  • ✅ Frequency selection RHP opens
  • ✅ Header shows "Settlement frequency" with back button
  • ✅ Description text is visible: "Choose how often you'll settle your travel invoicing balance."
  • ✅ Selectable items list shows "Monthly" and "Daily" options
  • ✅ Current frequency is pre-selected

Test 3: Change Frequency (Online)

Steps:

  1. Open frequency selection screen.
  2. Current frequency shows "Monthly".
  3. Tap "Daily" option.

Expected Results:

  • ✅ Selection immediately updates to "Daily"

  • ✅ Screen navigates back to Travel Invoicing section

  • ✅ Settlement frequency row now displays "Daily"

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

Test 5: Change Frequency While Offline (Optimistic Update)

Steps:

  1. Open the app on the Travel Invoicing section.
  2. Toggle offline mode.
  3. Tap "Settlement frequency" row.
  4. Change from "Monthly" to "Daily".

Expected Results:

  • ✅ Optimistic update: Frequency row immediately shows "Daily"
  • ✅ Row appears grayed out (pending indicator)
  • ✅ No error message

Test 6: Reconnect After Offline Change (Success)

Steps:

  1. After Test 5, reconnect to network.
  2. Wait for sync.

Expected Results:

  • ✅ Pending indicator (gray styling) disappears
  • ✅ Frequency row shows "Daily" (confirmed from server)
  • ✅ No error / RBR indicator

QA Steps

Same as tests.

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I verified there are no new alerts related to the canBeMissing param for useOnyx
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
    • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

Hey, I noticed you changed src/languages/en.ts in a PR from a fork. For security reasons, translations are not generated automatically for PRs from forks.

If you want to automatically generate translations for other locales, an Expensify employee will have to:

  1. Look at the code and make sure there are no malicious changes.
  2. Run the Generate static translations GitHub workflow. If you have write access and the K2 extension, you can simply click: [this button]

Alternatively, if you are an external contributor, you can run the translation script locally with your own OpenAI API key. To learn more, try running:

npx ts-node ./scripts/generateTranslations.ts --help

Typically, you'd want to translate only what you changed by running npx ts-node ./scripts/generateTranslations.ts --compare-ref main

BUG: Errors are not cleared on the settlement account field.

✅ Resolved, after #81084 was merged now the flow works as follows:

  • when Central invoicing is turned from disabled to enabled:
    • if API fails -> settlement account field will have error which if dismissed-> disables Central invoicing (reverts the enabling) since there isn't any previous BA to revert the field (no assigned BA = Central invoicing OFF)
    • if API success -> settlement account field will be set to the assigned BA and settlement frequency to Monthly
  • when Central invoicing is already enabled:
    • if settlement account change API fails -> settlement account field will have error which if dismissed -> error is cleared and settlement account BA value is reverted to the account set before the change (settlement frequency is preserved)

@parasharrajat 🟢 Ready for review! Updated PR description tests since testing is easier after the latest PR was merged.

Why are we using a Settlement account for this purpose?

(no assigned BA = Central invoicing OFF)

This contradicts your point 2 ⬇️

Shouldn't the field name be settlementFrequency? having monthly in the name while the values can be montly and other, does not seem right.

I agree with that point, but the reason I used monthlySettlementDate is due to design doc specs - because BE is using the Expensify Card model for Travel cards which name the variable like that, here's ref from docs section:

// Example of private_expensifyCardSettings NVP
const example = {
   US: {
       paymentBankAccountID: 101,
       limit: 30000,
       marqetaBusinessToken: 1,
       ownerEmail: "owner@example.com",
       monthlySettlementDate: 15,
       country: "US",
       currency: "USD"
   }
}

Before changing the variable name to settlementFrequency, we would have to ensure that this aligns with BE logic. @blimpich For input on whether we should change this or leave as is 🙌

If anything, I noticed that the type I used for monthlySettlementDate should be changed to number instead of Date since that's what BE seems to expect.

Edit: I checked Expensify Card types and it was monthlySettlementDate: Date; before any of Travel Invoicing logic so I guess it should remain Date ?

Besides what I referenced above, in design doc we also have this section which conflicts with previous reference:

} elseif ($command === 'UpdateTravelInvoiceSettlementFrequency') {
    Auth::updateExpensifyCardDomainSettings(
        $authToken,
        $domainName,
        Request::getInt('domainAccountID'),

Looks like:

  • UpdateTravelInvoiceSettlementFrequency takes settlementFrequency param as String accepting:
FREQUENCY_SETTING: {
  DAILY: 'daily',
  MONTHLY: 'monthly',
},
  • monthlySettlementDate is a separate param existing on Expensify Card object that from BE side seems to accept Number (day of month) instead of date / but is typed as Date in FE

For Travel Invoicing - Release 2.4: Update Settlement Frequency Flow current logic uses this logic to send the FE choice to BE UpdateTravelInvoiceSettlementFrequency API:

Screenshot 2026-02-05 at 15 18 21

@blimpich We have to sort out if this is the expected logic / flow from FE <-> BE or we should change things at this point in this PR.

  • Lets change the type of monthlySettlementDate from date to number. It should be number
  • monthlySettlementDate is how we reference it on the backend, so lets keep the naming 👍

This is slightly confusing because the backend does some inference, but Kevin is right that the backend data model uses monthlySettlementDate not settlementFrequency. The backend assumes that if there is a monthlySettlementDate then it is monthly, and if not then it is daily. The settlementFrequency parameter for the UpdateTravelInvoiceSettlementFrequency command is an abstraction over that logic.

Why are we using a Settlement account for this purpose?

That's how we agreed on the flow behaving for PR #81084 / Slack thread discussion.

This contradicts your point 2 ⬇️

It doesn't contradict because we're talking about 2 specific cases:

  • settlement account was assigned first time (meaning there won't be any previous settlement account to revert to) -> resulting in Central Invoicing turning OFF when settlement account error is cleared
  • settlement account was changed (meaning we have previous settlement account to revert to if the change fails) -> resulting in Central Invoicing remaining OD when settlement account error is cleared
