This may be caused by the item being marked as approved.
To check if the item has been marked as an approved item:
- Navigate to Item Management > Inventory Items.
- Click to highlight the item and select Edit Item.
- Select the Other Details tab.
- Review the Approve Item box to see if it is selected.
