Hi Milen,
Thank you for the suggestions. The run time plan and theoritical plan both
were using the 'bad plan'. But from sqlplus if I supply the bind variables
then it was using the right indexes.
On further investigation, I found that this line is causing the 'bad'
explain plan -RH.AUTHORIZATION_STATUS=DECODE(:B3,
  ,'1',RH.AUTHORIZATION_STATUS,:B3). If I replace that with
RH.AUTHORIZATION_STATUS=DECODE('1'
  ,'1',RH.AUTHORIZATION_STATUS,'1' )  the the explain plan shifts to use the
'good' plan.

SELECT /*+ INDEX(PO_REQUISITION_LINES_ALL XXDL_PO_REQUISITION_LINES_F2) */
  RH.SEGMENT1 REQUISITION_NUMBER,
  XXDL_REQ_WEB_INQUIRY.DECODE_PERSON_NAME(RH.PREPARER_ID) ORIGINATOR_NAME,
  RL.SUGGESTED_VENDOR_NAME, RH.CREATION_DATE, RH.AUTHORIZATION_STATUS,
  DECODE(NVL(PH.PO_HEADER_ID,'1'),'1',' ',NVL(PH.AUTHORIZATION_STATUS,
  'INCOMPLETE')) PO_STATUS
FROM
 PO.PO_REQUISITION_LINES_ALL RL, PO.PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL RH,
  PO.PO_REQ_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL RD, PO.PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL PD,
  PO.PO_HEADERS_ALL PH, MTL_CATEGORIES MC WHERE 1=1 AND
  UPPER(RL.SUGGESTED_VENDOR_NAME) LIKE UPPER(:B7 || '%') AND
  RH.REQUISITION_HEADER_ID = RL.REQUISITION_HEADER_ID+0 AND
  RL.REQUISITION_LINE_ID = RD.REQUISITION_LINE_ID AND RD.DISTRIBUTION_ID =
  PD.REQ_DISTRIBUTION_ID(+) AND RD.EXPENDITURE_TYPE = NVL(:B6 ,
  RD.EXPENDITURE_TYPE) AND PD.PO_HEADER_ID = PH.PO_HEADER_ID(+) AND
  RH.CREATION_DATE BETWEEN :B5 AND :B4 AND
RH.AUTHORIZATION_STATUS=DECODE('1'
  ,'1',RH.AUTHORIZATION_STATUS,'1' ) AND RL.CATEGORY_ID = MC.CATEGORY_ID AND
  MC.SEGMENT1||'' = NVL(:B2 ,MC.SEGMENT1) AND MC.SEGMENT2||'' = NVL(:B1 ,
  MC.SEGMENT2) AND ((MC.ATTRIBUTE9 = 'Y') OR (RH.PREPARER_ID =
  FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID) OR
  (XXDL_REQ_WEB_INQUIRY.ISAPPROVER(RH.REQUISITION_HEADER_ID,
  FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID) = 'Y')) ORDER BY RH.CREATION_DATE DESC
