Proposal

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

There is RBR in the expense preview in the workspace chat, but there is no error message or violation for the invalid tax rate in the transaction thread

What is the root cause of that problem?

In report preview, we show the RBR if any transaction has error or has violation

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/ReportPreview.tsx

Line 140 in f150229

const hasErrors = hasMissingSmartscanFields || (canUseViolations && ReportUtils.hasViolations(iouReportID, transactionViolations)) || ReportUtils.hasActionsWithErrors(iouReportID);

But in MoneyRequestView, we don't get the error for tax field and pass it to MenuItemWithTopDescription as we do for other fields like tag, ...

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestView.tsx

Line 442 in f150229

<OfflineWithFeedback pendingAction={getPendingFieldAction('taxCode')}>

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestView.tsx

Lines 427 to 428 in f150229

	brickRoadIndicator={getErrorForField('tag', {tagListIndex: index, tagListName: name}) ? CONST.BRICK_ROAD_INDICATOR_STATUS.ERROR : undefined}
	error={getErrorForField('tag', {tagListIndex: index, tagListName: name})}

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

We should get the error for tax field via getErrorField function and pass brickRoadIndicator and error prop into
MenuItemWithTopDescription for tax field here

brickRoadIndicator={getErrorForField('tax') ? CONST.BRICK_ROAD_INDICATOR_STATUS.ERROR : undefined}
error={getErrorForField('tax')}

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestView.tsx

Line 442 in f150229

<OfflineWithFeedback pendingAction={getPendingFieldAction('taxCode')}>

OPTIONAL: We can show the error the both tax code and tax amount.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA
