JDE Tools Release 9.1.5.1 - Credit workflow doesn't work if requester is in the hierarchy

We are upgrading from JDE Tools Release 8.98 to 9.1.5.1.  In testing credit workflow, I tested being outside the credit approval workflow hierarchy.  I changed the credit limit on a customer and got the message saying it is being sent for approval.   I then go into the Work Center as someone in the hierarchy and approve the credit limit change.   It works as expected.

Then I added myself to the hierarchy and tried the same test.  I get the message saying it's being sent for approval.  I also get a message that the change has been auto approved.  When i go into the work center, nothing is there to approve.  I see the process errored in the Process Activity Monitor.
