Symptoms

After changing the "Header Amount Limit" value in the "Auto Approval Tolerance for Agreements" page to 10%, when a Blanket Agreement (BPA) is changed and the amount limit increased by more than the value specified in the tolerance attribute (>10%), the document is getting automatically approved even though the employee does not have enough authority.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
-----------------
Expect Blanket Agreement to get forwarded for approval to next supervisor

-- Steps To Reproduce:
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Approval Limit for BUYER1000 was 1,000 and 'Owner Can Approve' for Blanket was set to Yes.
2. Auto Approval Tolerance for Agreemements was set to
   • Header Amount Agreed = 10 %
   • Header Amount Limit = 10 %
3. A new Blanket Agreement is approved with the following values:
   • Amount Agreed = $1,000
   • Amount Limit = $1,000
4. Changed Amount Limit to 1,500 which exceeded Amount Limit Tolerance in 50%
5. Click Save, Blanket Agreement status became Requires Reapproval
6. Click Submit, PO status became Approved
