Approval Workflow Requirement for Expense Reports Imported Through Expense Report Export Program

Problem Description:
We have a requirement that Expense Reports imported through the Payables Expense Report Export Program must go through the Payables Approval Hierarchy.

Our business requirement is that these imported expense report invoices should still be routed for approval in Payables.

We would like Oracle to confirm:
