Approval Terms Exceeded

Question

Hi Experts,
I have an Approval Procedure set up to stop users exceeding a BP's Commitment Limit.
When adding a new Sales Order, the approval procedure kicks in if the value of the order takes the BP over its commitment limit.
If I add a zero value Sales Order, the system allows me to Add the order as the commitment limit has not been reached.
The problem is that I can then go back into the Zero Value Sales Order and change it to any value I like.  On hitting Update, the approval procedure is not kicking in.
Therefore, the user can circumnavigate the approval process by adding an SO for a zero value, and then later Updating the SO with a figure that will take the BP over the commitment limit.
Why is the Approval Procedure not called when Updating a document.
Thanks

Gordon,
The query SELECT 'TRUE' was just a test query.  I wanted something that would always return a TRUE value to test whether the Approval Procedure was being triggered.
I have just tried the below query as well (again just to test whether the Approval Process is fired).
SELECT 'TRUE' FROM DBO.OCRD T0 WHERE T0.CardCode = $[$4.0.0] AND T0.Balance < 10000000
The BP for the Sales Order is C1006 with a balance of 3,156.34.  If I try to add a Sales Order for the BP, the Approval Process is triggered.
If I edit the Sales Order, the Approval Process is not triggered.  This is causing a problem for my customer as the users can circumnavigate the Approval Process by first adding the SO with a false value, and then changing the value later.

Edit Note - when I save this message some the text http:// is being added to my query!
