In your case Purchase order is either created through manual Purchase order option or through bundle and order where the Bundle and order is a manual action on the UI. Also, mass data run just helps to do mass processing for this action, so we do not consider the Bundle and order mass data run as automatic PO creation, hence system takes what is maintained for manually created Purchase orders in BC activity"Involved Parties for Purchase Requests and Orders".
If your Purchase order is created as described below then it's called automatic purchase order. Then system will take what is maintained for Automatically created Purchase orders in BC activity"Involved Parties for Purchase Requests and Orders".
