Symptom
You have submitted an Expense Report with Cash Advance of amount XYZ and it is Reimbursed.
You have reopened the Expense Report and submitted it without any changes and during the Approval Process the Approver declined the Expense Report.
The Advance amount and Approved amount in the Reimbursement History of Expense Report shows negative amount -XYZ.
You expect the Advance and Approved amount should show positive amounts.
Reproducing the Issue
