Oracle Expense Reports Approval Delay Issue when using AME


Recently I found an Issue when testing the iExpenses Approvals using AME (Especially FYI Notifications). 

Whenever you create an Export Report Below the Self Approval Limit, It should be Auto Approved and change the Status to 'Pending for Payables' or 'Pending for Payment' depends on Audit Rules Configuration.

But Here, Iinstead of these 2 statues, it changes to 'Pending Managerial Approval', even though we are skipping the Manager's approval as the total amount of Expense Report falls under the self approval limit of Expense Report. I Spent a lot of time to analyze this and foudn the below.

on further analysis by checking the Expenses Workflow, the WAIT Node is set to 10 minutes by Default in the Standard Oracle Workflow as below -
