Shows expenses as "approved" immediately after creation?

Immediately after submitting the form, it /appeared/ as though my request already being approved (see screenshot below), which can't be right, as the mail read something like:

Dear $NAME,

Your request for $MONEY EUR for $EVENT has been received and will be reviewed.

You will be notified by email, when this has been completed.

Thank you,

The Debian Reimbursements system on behalf of DPL.
