Cause

The People Picker dialog box only displays business users assigned to the SAP_BR_PURCHASING_MANAGE business role.
You can only select a business user business user assigned to the SAP_BR_PURCHASING_MANAGE to an approver of a workflow.
Resolution
You must add the SAP_BR_PURCHASING_MANAGER business role to all business users enabled to be an approver.
Business users also require that business role to open the My Inbox - Approve Purchase Orders app.
You can use the Maintain Business Users app to assign business roles to users.
In Manage Workflows for Purchase Orders app, the People Picker dialog box also will display users assigned to SAP_BR_MANAGER or SAP_BR_PURCHASING_MANAGER business roles.
