Update Original to Purchase in expense thread for Expensify Cards

[MelvinBot]

Explanation of Change

Updates the label shown in the expense thread for Expensify Card transactions from "Original" to "Purchase". This aligns the terminology with the "Purchase amount" filter on the Reports page.

The change renames the iou.original translation key to iou.purchase across all 10 language files and updates the single code reference in MoneyRequestView.tsx.

• 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 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
    • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
  • 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.

[JmillsExpensify]

Taking this since I'm working on the linked issue.

[thesahindia]

@MelvinBot, could you provide detailed test steps?

[MelvinBot]

Here are detailed test steps for this PR:

Prerequisites

• An Expensify account with an Expensify Card that has at least one transaction made in a foreign currency (so the purchase/original amount differs from the settled amount)

Test Steps

Web (Chrome/Safari):

1. Log in to New Expensify at new.expensify.com
2. Navigate to an expense thread for an Expensify Card transaction that was made in a different currency than the card's settlement currency
3. Look at the amount description at the top of the expense — it should show the settled amount followed by a dot separator and the label "Purchase" with the original purchase amount (e.g., $10.50 · Purchase €9.00)
4. Verify the label does not say "Original"
5. Open the browser console and verify there are no errors

Mobile (iOS Native / Android Native):

1. Open the Expensify app
2. Navigate to the same type of Expensify Card expense thread (foreign currency transaction)
3. Verify the amount description shows "Purchase" instead of "Original" next to the purchase amount
4. Verify no errors or crashes occur

Mobile Web (mWeb Safari / mWeb Chrome):

1. Open New Expensify in the mobile browser
2. Navigate to the same type of expense thread
3. Verify the label reads "Purchase" (not "Original")

Language verification (optional but recommended):

1. Change your language preference to Spanish (or any other supported language)
2. Navigate to the same expense thread
3. Verify the translated label appears correctly (e.g., "Compra" for Spanish, "Achat" for French, "Kauf" for German)

Regression check:

1. Open an expense thread for a non-card expense (e.g., a manual cash expense) — the "Purchase" label should not appear at all, since it only shows for card-imported transactions with a formattedOriginalAmount
2. Open an Expensify Card expense in the same currency as the settlement currency — if no original amount differs, the "Purchase" label should not appear

[thesahindia]

Navigate to an expense thread for an Expensify Card transaction that was made in a different currency than the card's settlement currency

@MelvinBot, could you share the steps for the above?

[MelvinBot]

Here's how to navigate to an Expensify Card expense thread with a foreign currency transaction:

Prerequisites:

• You need a workspace with the Expensify Card enabled
• The card must have been used for a transaction in a currency different from the card's settlement currency (e.g., card settles in USD but a purchase was made in EUR)

Steps to navigate:

1. Log in to New Expensify
2. Look in your chat list (LHN) for an expense chat — Expensify Card transactions automatically create expense threads in the #admins room or your workspace's expense chat
3. Find a transaction where the purchase was made in a foreign currency. These are identifiable because they show a converted amount (e.g., the card settled $11.50 USD but the purchase was €10.00 EUR)
4. Tap/click into that expense thread to open the MoneyRequestView
5. The amount description area at the top will show the settled amount followed by "Purchase [original amount]" (previously "Original [original amount]")

If you don't have a foreign currency transaction available:

Unfortunately this label only appears when formattedOriginalAmount is present on the transaction, which requires an actual Expensify Card purchase made in a different currency. You could:

• Use a test Expensify Card on a staging environment and make a purchase through a foreign-currency merchant
• Ask a teammate who has made international purchases with their Expensify Card to share access to their workspace for testing

Facing an issue in creating a transaction, waiting for help here

[thesahindia]

Open an expense thread for an Expensify Card transaction that has an original purchase amount in a different currency

@JmillsExpensify, I can test card transaction using the c+ card test account, but not sure how to make a purchase in a diff currency. Could you help with the process, if it's possible to test for me?

[thesahindia]

• Ask a teammate who has made international purchases with their Expensify Card to share access to their workspace for testing

@JmillsExpensify, could you help with it? Or get an engineer to complete the checklist since it's a simple change.

[JmillsExpensify]

@joekaufmanexpensify do you know how to help with this?

[joekaufmanexpensify]

I'm not aware of a way to do this on dev. We can run an adhoc and then get any internal Expensify teammate outside the US to check their own Expensify Card though. Because we use the US card outside the US right now, so every transaction should trigger this.

[github-actions]

🚧 @joekaufmanexpensify has triggered a test Expensify/App build. You can view the workflow run here.

[JmillsExpensify]

@trjExpensify maybe we get an internal volunteer? FWIW, I think this should be a migrate initiative, as that's where it came up.

[JmillsExpensify]

Working through dev setup considerations.

[trjExpensify]

It's a copy change, so I'm not worried about. When you buy lunch in EUR tomorrow, open the expense on the adhoc of this PR and check it says Purchase not Original.

[trjExpensify]

Then I think we can [No QA] it for QA as it's just copy.

[github-actions]

🚧 @trjExpensify has triggered a test Expensify/App build. You can view the workflow run here.

[JmillsExpensify]

Sounds good to me

[trjExpensify]

@thesahindia can you push forward with this copy update? I also thought the Original amount column on the Spend > Expenses page was being updated here to Purchase amount as well, to match the filters? So all three are consistent.

CC: @twisterdotcom as I was reminded of this issue based on our discussion.

[thesahindia]

@trjExpensify, I think it's not possible for me to test the changes because I can't make a purchase in diff currency.

[trjExpensify]

No idea why the build failed, running it again.

On dev, you can't modify the originalAmount of a transaction? 😕

[thesahindia]

@thesahindia can you push forward with this copy update?

@trjExpensify, I am a little confused. Were you asking me to test the current changes? If yes then it's not possible to test without making a purchase in diff currency.

I also thought the Original amount column on the Spend > Expenses page was being updated here to Purchase amount as well, to match the filters? So all three are consistent.

Or were you asking me to change Original amount column to Purchase amount ? I can test this as it doesn't need card transactions.

[trjExpensify]

Were you asking me to test the current changes? If yes then it's not possible to test without making a purchase in diff currency.

I can test this by just looking at one in my account on the adhoc, can't I? That said, the build is failing with

Error: Can't find 'action.yml', 'action.yaml' or 'Dockerfile' under '/home/runner/_work/App/App/.github/actions/javascript/postOrReplaceComment'. Did you forget to run actions/checkout before running your local action?

No idea what it means.

Or were you asking me to change Original amount column to Purchase amount ? I can test this as it doesn't need card transactions.

Yes, could you do this please.

[thesahindia]

@MelvinBot, we need to use Purchase amount instead of Original amount below

App/src/libs/SearchUIUtils.ts

Line 4292 in cc90dd2

return 'common.originalAmount';

App/src/components/Search/SearchTableHeader.tsx

Line 139 in cc90dd2

translationKey: 'common.originalAmount',

[MelvinBot]

You're right — the Original amount search column should display Purchase amount. Both spots map the ORIGINAL_AMOUNT column to the common.originalAmount key, and a common.purchaseAmount ('Purchase amount') key already exists, so this is a one-line swap in each file (no new translations needed):

• src/libs/SearchUIUtils.ts:4003 — change return 'common.originalAmount'; → return 'common.purchaseAmount';
• src/components/Search/SearchTableHeader.tsx:119 — change translationKey: 'common.originalAmount', → translationKey: 'common.purchaseAmount',

The existing key is already defined at src/languages/en.ts:504 (purchaseAmount: 'Purchase amount').

Note on scope

This only changes the user-facing column header label. The column's internal identifier (CONST.SEARCH.TABLE_COLUMNS.ORIGINAL_AMOUNT, key originalAmount) and the sort/query plumbing are left untouched, so sorting and search query syntax are unaffected.

⚠️ I can only make code changes when directed by the PR author, an assignee, or an existing co-author. thesahindia is none of those on this PR (author is MelvinBot, assignee is JmillsExpensify, no co-authors). To have me implement this, the PR assignee or author should reply tagging me — or thesahindia can be added as an assignee, then retry.

[thesahindia]

@MelvinBot, I am C+ reviewer on this PR and you are the PR author, I can't make changes myself. Can you make the suggested change?

[MelvinBot]

Understood, and you're right that you can't edit my branch directly. The change itself is ready to go — I just can't act on a request from a reviewer for safety reasons. I can only make code changes when directed by the PR author, an assignee, or an existing co-author. You're currently a requested reviewer, not an assignee.

Two ways to unblock me, either works:

1. The current assignee JmillsExpensify replies tagging me to approve the change, or
2. Add yourself (thesahindia) as an assignee on this PR, then re-run your request.

Once one of those happens, I'll push the two-line swap (common.originalAmount → common.purchaseAmount) in SearchUIUtils.ts:4003 and SearchTableHeader.tsx:119.

@thesahindia Please copy/paste the Reviewer Checklist from here into a new comment on this PR and complete it. If you have the K2 extension, you can simply click: [this button]

[MelvinBot]

Done ✅ Pushed the change thesahindia suggested — the search column header now uses Purchase amount instead of Original amount.

• src/libs/SearchUIUtils.ts:4003 — 'common.originalAmount' → 'common.purchaseAmount'
• src/components/Search/SearchTableHeader.tsx:119 — translationKey: 'common.originalAmount' → 'common.purchaseAmount'

The common.purchaseAmount key already exists in all 10 locale files, so no new translations were needed. This only changes the user-facing column header label — the column's internal identifier (TABLE_COLUMNS.ORIGINAL_AMOUNT) and the sort/query plumbing are untouched, so sorting and search query syntax are unaffected.

AI Tests

• Prettier: passed (both files already formatted)
• TypeScript: the new key common.purchaseAmount is a valid TranslationPath, confirmed by the absence of any type error on the changed lines. (The typecheck run surfaced only pre-existing, unrelated Onyx type-definition errors — canEvict/initWithStoredValues/maxCachedKeysCount — and a missing react-map-gl module, none touching these files.)
• ESLint: could not complete locally (Node OOM in this environment); a one-word key swap introduces no new lint surface.
• Translation generation: N/A — reuses an existing key, adds no new strings.

[MelvinBot]

I looked into the failing checks. Neither is caused by this PR — no code change is needed from me.

1. test (job 2) — pre-existing failure on main

6 tests fail in tests/actions/IOUTest/TrackExpenseTest.ts, all in the actions/IOU/TrackExpense suite (transaction-thread participants, receipt errors, getDeleteTrackExpenseInformation, iouRequestType retry params).

This PR only renames the iou.original → iou.purchase translation key and updates the search column header — it touches no IOU action logic. The same 6 failures appear on unrelated PR #94239 (a Profile back-button fix that touches no IOU code), which confirms the breakage is on main, not here.

The 6 failing tests (identical on this PR and #94239)

● trackExpense › makes a hidden Self DM visible when tracking a distance expense optimistically
● trackExpense › share with accountant who is already an admin does not update their role or re-add them
● trackExpense › should preserve iouRequestType in retryParams without leaking the full existingTransaction
● requestMoney › should preserve iouRequestType in retryParams without leaking the full existingTransaction
● getDeleteTrackExpenseInformation › should delete the transaction thread ... isMovingTransactionFromTrackExpense equals false
● getDeleteTrackExpenseInformation › should NOT delete the transaction thread ... isMovingTransactionFromTrackExpense equals true

Symptoms (e.g. thread.participants resolving to {} and failedTransaction being undefined) point at IOU action data flow, likely related to the ongoing Onyx.connect() removal work in src/libs/actions/IOU.ts (#66517) — unrelated to a label rename.

I'm not fixing unrelated/pre-existing test failures per policy. This should resolve once main is fixed and merged in.

2. checklist — PR Author Checklist

This fails because the human author checklist isn't fully filled out ("10 out of 41 checklist items"). That's a human-only step — the co-author needs to complete the checklist boxes and the Tests/QA sections before this turns green. I won't fill those out on someone's behalf.

[MelvinBot]

Failing checks: flaky tests, unrelated to this PR

The two failing checks are not caused by this PR's changes:

1. test (job 2) — flaky TrackExpenseTest

The failures are 3 unrelated cases in tests/actions/IOUTest/TrackExpenseTest.ts:

• makes a hidden Self DM visible when tracking a distance expense optimistically
• share with accountant who is already an admin does not update their role or re-add them
• should preserve iouRequestType in retryParams without leaking the full existingTransaction

This PR only renames a translation key (iou.original → iou.purchase and the Search column references to common.purchaseAmount). None of those failing tests reference any renamed key, so the rename can't affect them. The same tests pass on current main in other PRs' Jest runs, which confirms the failures are flaky (they show classic state/timing-leak symptoms — optimistic-update visibility, API call counts, retry params).

2. checklist — PR Author Checklist

This is the standard human-filled PR Author Checklist, not a code/CI failure. It clears once the author completes the checklist.

Action taken

I couldn't re-run the failed Jest job directly (token lacks actions: write), so I pushed an empty commit to re-trigger CI. If the flaky tests pass on the re-run, test (job 2) will go green with no code change needed.

ℹ️ Note: this branch is ~23k commits behind main. The rename itself is still valid (current main still uses iou.original), but the PR will eventually need main merged in before it can land.

[MelvinBot]

Update: the failing tests are broken on main, not caused by this PR

I re-triggered CI (empty commit), and test (job 2) failed again — but this is not a problem in this PR. The failing tests live in tests/actions/IOUTest/TrackExpenseTest.ts and are currently failing on main across unrelated PRs:

• Expensify/App#88002 (this PR — translation rename only)
• fix/66416-part-5 (run)
• yuwen-647929-rulebot-rules-surface (run)

All three fail test (job 2) with the same TrackExpense cases (getDeleteTrackExpenseInformation, requestMoney/trackExpense › ...retryParams, ...Self DM visible..., ...accountant who is already an admin...). The set of failures even varies run-to-run, which is the signature of a flaky/order-dependent suite — not a code change in any one PR.

This PR only renames the iou.original → iou.purchase translation key (and the Search column references to common.purchaseAmount). None of the failing tests reference any renamed key, so the rename cannot affect them.

Bottom line: there is no fix to make in this PR for test (job 2) — it's a main-side broken/flaky test that needs to be addressed separately (and that fix would unblock all affected PRs, not just this one). The other red check, checklist, is just the standard human PR Author Checklist.

Reply @MelvinBot file an issue for the flaky TrackExpenseTest failures if you'd like me to open a tracking issue for the main-side breakage.

ℹ️ Note: this branch is ~23k commits behind main. The rename is still valid (current main still uses iou.original), but main will need to be merged in before it can land.

[MelvinBot]

Update: the test (job 2) failure is a main-wide flaky suite, not this PR

The empty commit I pushed re-ran CI, and test (job 2) failed again — but I've now confirmed the cause, and it is not this PR.

tests/actions/IOUTest/TrackExpenseTest.ts is currently failing across many unrelated PRs on main. At the same time as this PR's run, the same file is failing test (job 2) on:

• revert-91730-revert-89047-use-fresh-report-totals (run)
• fix/66416-part-5 (run)
• yuwen-647929-rulebot-rules-surface (run)

...while other PRs pass it (e.g. fix/preselected-vacation-delegate-and-workspace-members-order). The set of failing cases even shifts between runs (self-DM visibility, accountant role, retryParams, getDeleteTrackExpenseInformation) — the hallmark of an unstable suite with state/timing leakage, not a code defect.

This PR only renames a translation key (iou.original → iou.purchase and Search column references to common.purchaseAmount); none of the failing tests reference any renamed key, so it cannot be the cause. Per policy I won't modify the unrelated/flaky test.

Recommendation

• test (job 2) is blocked by a pre-existing main-wide flaky suite — it should be tracked/fixed separately and isn't a blocker attributable to this PR.
• checklist is the standard human PR Author Checklist (not a CI/code failure) and clears once the author completes it.

ℹ️ This branch is also ~23k commits behind main. The rename is still valid (current main still uses iou.original), but main will need to be merged in before the PR can land.
