1. Go to Purchase requests and Orders work center
2. Select view Purchase Requests(PR refers to purchase request)
3. Search for the purchase request created from MRP run
4. The PR did not go for approval and purchase order is already created from it.

In the scoping questions for purchase requests, you have scoped the following question:"Do you want to use an approval process for manual purchase requests?"

This means the approval process is only applicable for manually created Purchase Request.

The purchase request which is getting created from planning proposal is not a manual purchase request. Hence, it will not go for approval because approval is not applicable for automatically created purchase request.

You can create manual purchase request if you want to trigger approval for the same.
