For all other referencing scenarios (Global Blanket Agreement, Quotation, Emergency Requisitions, etc..) the insert is done
directly into the interface tables.

The larger red circle shows that when the source document is anything other than a Blanket Release, a direct insert is going to
take place into the interface tables to create the resulting document.

However, if the Source Document is a Blanket Agreement, then the lower path is taken down to the second smaller circled event
- which encompasses the Get Release Generation Method from the ASL.
Whether or not the newly created document is submitted for Approval is based on a workflow attribute - which is set later in the
Create Documents Workflow.

To check the attribute - here is a sql statement:

select rtrim(w.name) name,

w.text_default Value,
rtrim(w.item_type) item_type,
'Is Automatic Approval Allowed?' Attribute
from wf_item_attributes w
where w.NAME = 'AUTO_APPROVE_DOC'
and item_type = 'CREATEPO';

An alternative to using the workflow builder to set the attribute, the following update statement can also be used:

update wf_item_attributes
set text_default = 'Y'
where text_default = 'N'
and name = 'AUTO_APPROVE_DOC'
and item_type = 'CREATEPO';
commit;
