Symptoms

Actual Behavior
In Purchasing Document Approval Rules, if adding a condition as "Change Order Creation Method = Purchasing Web Service", the rule does not work correctly.

In this case, Business rule has following formula the DocumentApproval BPM Worklist:
PurchasingDocumentHeader.changeOrderCreationMethod is "PURCHASE_ORDER_SERVICE".

However, the attribute Change Order Creation Method value is retrieved from the PO_VERSIONS table, CREATED_BY_PROGRAM_NAME field and in case of Purchasing Web Services, the value is "PO_WEB_SERVICE".

Because the above do not match, the rules using Purchasing Web Services as Change Order Creation Method Value do not work properly.

Due the above, Unexpected approvers have been assigned because to this condition that has "CHANGE ORDER CREATION METHOD VALUE : Not Included : Purchasing Web Service" is not available.

Expected Behavior
Approval rules using Purchasing Web Services as Change Order Creation Method Value should work properly.
