1. Go to Supplier Invoicing work center.
2. Go to Invoices and Credit Memos view.
3. Open supplier invoice ABC (ABC refers to supplier invoice ID) , view all.
4. Go to Items tab, Parties and Locations sub tab, you see the receipt is employee DEF (DEF referes to employee name).
5. Go to Approval tab, you see the defined approvers are employee DEF and GHI (GHI referes to employee name).

You don't know why GHI also be defined as the approver since he is not the receipt for supplier invoice ABC.

You have assigned a down payment request to this supplier invoice. Please check it by following steps:

1. Open supplier invoice ABC , view all.
2. Go to General tab, Payment Information: Down Payments sub tab. You can see the assigned down payment request here.
3. Open the down payment request, view all.
4. Go to Items tab, Parties and Locations sub tab, you see the receipt is employee GHI.

The receipt of the assigned down payment request will also be defined as the approver.

If there are mutiple down payment requests be assigned to the supplier invoice, all the receipts will be defined as the approver.

This is the expected system behavior.
