Withdrawal from approval typically results in a document returning to the In-Preparation status. However, in this case, withdrawal from approval is disabled because the purchase order has already been sent to the supplier. Since you have made changes, an approval was triggered. It is not possible to change the status of an ordered purchase document back to In-Preparation.

This is how system designed, the approver who receives the approval task will only have two options: Approve or Send Back for Revision. Reject will not be available.
