Why approved bill's approval status stays pending approval instead of changing to open when vendor is changed

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The approval status of a vendor bill may remain as 'Pending Approval' instead of changing to 'Open' when the vendor is changed due to several reasons: 1. Workflow Configuration: The workflow might not be correctly configured to change the status to 'Open' upon approval. Ensure that the 'Set Field Value' action in the workflow is correctly set to change the status to 'Open' upon approval. 2. Approval Routing: Ensure that Approval Routings for vendor bills are enabled. You can check this under Setup > Accounting > Approval Routings tab. 3. Accounting Preferences: Check the default status for vendor bills under Accounting Preferences. If the default status is set to 'Pending Approval', it might override the workflow action. You can find this under Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences > Order Management > Vendor Bill > Default Vendor Bill Status. 4. SuiteApproval Settings: If you're using SuiteApproval, check the approval rules used in this context. There might be certain conditions or rules that are preventing the status from changing to 'Open'. 5. Workflow Error Log: Check the workflow error log at the State. This can provide insights into whether the workflow is hitting the approved state or if there are any errors preventing the status change. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
