Is there a batch process to submit AWE workflow for Requisitions?

Hello,

My client is on 9.2 PUM 24. They currently use traditional requisitions (not ePro) to submit requests in Purchasing. They have AWE workflow enabled for anything created Online.

They also have Inventory Replenishments Requests currently by-pass workflow and created as Pre-Approved.

They want to make a change to this process where only replenishments associated with Suppliers that have contracts to be Pre-Approved and rest to go through AWE workflow.

My question is once we load requests from Req. Loader, is there a way to submit these requests into AWE workflow automatically?

The old virtual approval workflow had a menu navigation to submit requests in a batch and want to know if there is one similar to that for AWE?
