Summary:

AP Invoice Auto-Approved but Workflow Still Triggers Approval Notification

A user has been excluded from the AP invoice approval cycle . An approval rule has been configured to automatically approve invoices created by this user. However, after the invoice is created and marked as Approved, the system workflow is still triggered and sends an approval-required notification to the approver.

This occurs despite the invoice having already reached an approved status.
