Symptoms

On : 12.1.3 version, Purchase Order

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
XML_FLAG is set to 'N' in po_headers_all table when approving PO with communication method as XML

This was working just fine before <Patch 22779630>

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
correct XML_FLAG details i.e 'Y' should be populated in po_headers_all table if communication method is XML

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Install <Patch 22779630>
2. In the Buyer Work Center, create a new Purchase Order - select a supplier which is setup as a trading partner on the XML Gateway. The Communication Method automatically changes to XML, which is expected behaviour
3. Send the PO for approval
4. Check the XML_FLAG on po_headers_all table. The value is 'N', while we expect here a 'Y'

Another symptom may be as below

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------

When we create a new Purchase Order with Communication Method XML and submit it, then POAPPRV workflow is started but it does not launch child-flow "PO Xml Delivery" which sends XML via Outbound Monitor to Supplier.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------
POAPPRV workflow should launch the child-flow "PO Xml Delivery" if communication method is XML
