Cause
When you create the condition, for Cost Center, as the context says “The cost center contains” or “does not contain”, so it means the input field there can contain any text with various patterns .
It is not a value help/drop-down from where you choose the name.It is just a text field where you can enter any text or matching patterns and system will compare the rules if the pattern or name matches.
You can also enter a totally Non Existing cost center which is also fine within the meaning of approval condition.

This is the expected system behavior
