External Supplier Registration Requests are Automatically Being Rejected

Summary

Registration request is automatically rejected when the are separate participants for Prospective and Spend Authorized requests active

We have the external supplier registration approval requirement as follows:

1. Prospective Registration: Use an Approval Group (A) in the Parallel Approval First Responder Wins Participant

2. Spend Authorized Registration: Use a different Approval Group (B) in the Serial Approval Participant

When the two are activated, the external supplier registration requests are automatically getting rejected. If I disable one, the approval requests are arriving correctly for action.

I have created both the rules in the First Stage. I had tried placing in separeate stages, but the same issue occurs when both are active.
