When a purchase order is failed approval does system create a new event every time in XLA_EVENTS tab

Hi,

One of the purchase order was tried for approval several times as budget was not available it was finally approved after 2 weeks. Every time the approval is submitted does it create a new event within the xla_events table and xla_ae_headers. These are all encumbrance journals wondering why cannot system keep the same event until the document is finally approved.

Due to this within the xla_events table we have multiple records pointing to the same PO with event_status_code = 'U' and process_status_code = 'I'. Is there a process to purge these transactions which are not transferred to GL due to the budget failure.
