Supplier Approval

In 9.1, a user could navigate to Suppliers > Supplier Information > Approve > Approve Supplier.  Why did Oracle make this path display only in 9.2?   Below is the PeopleCode confirming it is display only.  I know this can be done within the supplier record, but I want to know why the change?

Peoplecode :

If %Component = Component.VNDR_ID Then

If &AUTHACT <> "Y" And

         &AUTHINAC <> "Y" Then

      VENDOR.VENDOR_STATUS.DisplayOnly = True;

Else

      VENDOR.VENDOR_STATUS.DisplayOnly = False;

End-If;

Else

If %Component = Component.APPROVE_VENDOR Then

      VENDOR.VENDOR_STATUS.DisplayOnly = True;

End-If;

End-If;
