Reproducing the Issue

 App:

Manage Workflow Settings for Purchase Orders
Manage Workflows for Supplier Invoices

This restriction occurs because Purchase objects could have been created and linked to the workflow already activated.

Resolution

Create a new workflow instead of changing current ones.
