Expense reports with negative expense amounts are not being created in 'Ready to Payment' status?

Summary:

We are trying to import expense reports using REST API and expense reports containing negative lines are being created in 'Pending manager approval' status even though there is no expense approval workflow enabled. Any opinions on how to troubleshoot this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Shriya
