Buyer was able to approve PO against Approved CPA over Agreed Amount
In our Oracle EBS system of 12.1.3, we allow the requisition to automatically create a PO against a CPA and auto-approve if within the agreed amount and time limit. If the requisition has amount that goes over the CPA agreed amount, it will still generate a PO and send a notification to the buyer. Usually, the buyer then increases the CPA limit, has it approved then completes the PO approval.
In the situation I'm asking about, the buyer accidently approved the PO before increasing the CPA amount.
