When a purchase order is created from an approved purchase requisition line, the Approval status on the PO is set to "Approved" even when the Activate change management parameter is set to "Active" and an active Purchase order workflow configuration exists.

There was a previous Microsoft Idea that has been completed for this: https://experience.microsoftcrmportals.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=1b8b981b-438f-e711-80c0-00155d7cd0b4

However, as confirmed by Microsoft, this is currently only active for customers that have the configuration key 'Public Sector' enabled.

Our customer in Industrial manufacturinghas has two distinct processes:

• The requisition process with an approval workflow which takes place "in the business" and where department managers can approve requisitions for their employees
• The second process takes place in the procurement department where buyers prepare the purchase orders and pricing and then submit the purchase orders for approval via a separate approval hierarchy with stepped signing limits.

The suggestion here is to open up this already developed feature outside of the Public Sector Configuration Key.
