How to Import Requisitions via API in Approved Status?

Summary:

When importing requisitions via FBDI we send the Status Code as "APPROVED" and our requisitions load into Oracle in Approved status. These requisitions do not have to go through our Manage Requisition Approval rules.

When importing requisitions via API we send the "status_code" as "APPROVED" in the payload, but the requisitions still go through our Manage Requisition Approval rules in Oracle fusion.

Is there a reason importing requisitions via FBDI is different than API? Is there a way to code our API integration to honor the Status Code as "APPROVED"?
