Java PO approval screen
I am reaching out to seek assistance regarding an "issue" we have encountered in the Oracle R12.2.10, specifically related to the Approval Path functionality.
In the Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) document type, we have configured the values for "Forward Method": Hierarchy" and "Default Hierarchy" with the name of the hierarchy.
It is worth noting that the buyer does not have a designated position, and this position is not defined within the hierarchy. As a result, upon the buyer's arrival at the Java approval request screen, the "Approval Path" field is found to be empty.
To proceed with the approval, the buyer is required to manually select "Forward" and then manually choose the appropriate hierarchy in the "Approval Path" field. Our concern is whether this behavior is intended as part of the system design or if it may be indicative of a potential bug.
