Accounts payables bypass pending invoice approval to payment

Is there any configuration available within the AP Invoice Approval process that would allow an invoice to proceed to payment even when the approval is still pending approval or rejection?

Specifically, we would like to understand whether Oracle Cloud provides any functionality to bypass or override the approval workflow without human intervention, allowing the invoice to continue to payment processing despite the approval not being completed.

Our understanding is that invoice approvals are intended to act as a control point before payment is released. Therefore, we would like to confirm whether there are any standard configurations, workflow settings, that could automatically bypass approval and permit payment processing while an invoice remains in a pending approval status.
