Approval Framework 9.2 for interfaced objects

Hello,

My client is running a pre-study for a 9.2 upgrade, with PeopleTools 8.53.

They are planning to interface vendors, preferably using Integration Broker (VENDOR_SYNC and VENDOR_FULLSYNC messages). They want to trigger an approval workflow using the Approval Framework immediately after the interface creates the vendors. However, they do not want a user to get in the vendor pages in order to submit for approval, as this is unnecessary from a business standpoint.

Triggering approval workflow following a batch program without user intervention: is that possible?

If not possible in 9.2, will it be possible in a future release?

Also note that they have the same requirement about vouchers created with Voucher Build AE.
