Flexible workflow for Purchase Orders is activated in the SSCUI under this path: Manage your Solution > configure your solution > Activate Flexible Workflow for Purchase Orders. 
When flexible workflow is active for a Purchase order type, the system must have an active workflow. If you don´t have any active workflow the error will appear creating the purchase order.

If you have several active workflows but none of these are relevant to the content of the Purchase Order, the system 
will default onto the auto approval. If you have de-activated the Auto approval such errors can occur.
