HI ​@Asela Munasinghe , The KBA has expired, which is why it is no longer accessible to anyone. However, the solution provided in the KBA is available below for reference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In purchase orders, it is avoided to use the roles of sub project manager and activity responsible for authorization of PO as only the project ID is known on the header level. Only "Project Manager" and "Other" are the types of roles which will act as Authorizer for purchase order.  In other words, when it comes to authorizer flow of purchase order, only "Project Manager" and "Other" are supported.

PO authorization process is for PO header level and not a line specific authorization. A PO can connect to several activities that belongs to several sub project level. So, it is not logical to request to authorize a PO by a sub project manager. PO authorization is done on header level, so that all the PO lines will authorized at once. If you have different sub project managers responsible for different PO lines, it is not possible to have it.

As the authorization of purchase orders are done against the header (and not

the lines like for the requisitions) the system can’t find the specific activity or sub project the purchase order is connected to. Project roles connected to sub project or activities are therefore by passed (not generated) by the generation of authorization steps to the PO.

You can verify this by going to “Authorization Limit per Project Role” window, and try to add a value other than zero for, Max Full Amount for PO for a project role with sub project manager, it will give you an error with the message “No authorization limit other than 0 can be set for this type of project role when used on purchase orders or purchase order change orders. This project role is always by passed in authorization of these type of orders.”.
