SYMPTOMS

A standard PO is automatically created and approved when the Approved Supplier List (ASL) Release Method is Automatic Release/Review

Setup:
Setup > Purchasing > Document Types > Purchase Requisition.
Set 'Use Contract Agreements for Auto Sourcing' = Yes
Set the Workflow Item Attributes
- Is Automatic Creation Allowed? = Yes in the PO Create Documents workflow

Profile PO: Automatic Document Sourcing set to Yes

Create a contract PO
Perform the ASL Setup and in the Approved Supplier list form set the field Release Method to Automatic Release/review.
No source document on the ASL

Run Min-max which creates requisitions, then they get auto-approved(this is

OK), then a standard PO (attached to the contract PO) is auto-created and gets auto-approved.

CHANGES

CAUSE

Standard functionality.
This is explained in the following bug:

Bug 5843032 - MIN-MAX REQ SHOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPROVE PO'S

SOLUTION

This is standard functionality

The Autocreate process is working correctly. The release generation method is used only if the
source document on the requisition is blanket agreement.
