Why can't we enter a supplier change request on an unapproved supplier?

Hello all,

Is there a reason why a supplier change request can only be created by the supplier when the supplier's "Vendor" status is already approved?

We have some scenarios where internally, we have placed the supplier in an "unapproved" status until additional information is provided buy them, but they can't provide the information until their supplier record is approved.

For example, bidders complete the bidder registration with somewhat minimal information to the bidder profile; however, after they are awarded an event, and the supplier record created, we would like for them to provide additional information such as a W9 and bank account using a supplier change request. This requires us to approve the supplier first before reaching out to them to  complete the SCR.
