Proposal

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

QBD - User is not returned to Export tab after export date/preferred exporter selected

What is the root cause of that problem?

• Wrong route/path is passed POLICY_ACCOUNTING_QUICKBOOKS_DESKTOP_PREFERRED_EXPORTER in QuickbooksDesktopPreferredExporterConfigurationPage and POLICY_ACCOUNTING_QUICKBOOKS_DESKTOP_EXPORT_DATE_SELECT in QuickbooksDesktopExportDateSelectPage.

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

• Update it to POLICY_ACCOUNTING_QUICKBOOKS_DESKTOP_EXPORT.
  

  App/src/pages/workspace/accounting/qbd/export/QuickbooksDesktopPreferredExporterConfigurationPage.tsx

  Line 62 in fa0feb2

  Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.POLICY_ACCOUNTING_QUICKBOOKS_DESKTOP_PREFERRED_EXPORTER.getRoute(policyID));

• Same should be done in QuickbooksDesktopExportDateSelectPage.
  

  App/src/pages/workspace/accounting/qbd/export/QuickbooksDesktopExportDateSelectPage.tsx

  Line 46 in fa0feb2

  Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.POLICY_ACCOUNTING_QUICKBOOKS_DESKTOP_EXPORT_DATE_SELECT.getRoute(policyID));

• We should also apply the same fix if this also occurs in other components.

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

N/A - Navigation issue.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Result

[VictoriaExpensify]

This looks like expected behaviour to me. When you took the steps to select the export type, you weren't returned to the previous the Export page either, so I'm not super clear on the issue here. Do our other Accounting integrations have different behaviour?

[VictoriaExpensify]

Ok I've just tested it on Xero and that does take you back to the export page.

In this case I agree this is something we should streamline
