Airbus a320 FINAL APP mode

Hello everyone...

I just watched a video/briefing I found on the Airbus WIN Application done by captain Savary and published in January 2019.
In the video, captain Savary says that the FINAL APP mode doesn’t guarantee altitude constraint compliance. (Prior to a leg that includes an FPA) Therefore the APPR push button should not be pressed until the TO waypoint is a fix with a coded FPA . (EG: 3 degrees)

I never knew about that restriction and looking at the FCOM, I can’t find such a restriction..
can somebody bring clarification?

thank you
