First of all, remove <h:form prependId="false">. It's incompatible with ajax. Don't forget to give the form a fixed ID now.

<h:form id="formId" styleClass="form">

Secondly, the process attribute is in your case wrong, you were using an EL expression with the component's cliend ID as a variable in the EL scope. This isn't making any sense. Just make it a normal string.

The rules of referencing the proper client ID can be found in the following answer: How to find out client ID of component for ajax update/render? Cannot find component with expression "foo" referenced from "bar". Applying that, it should look something like this (note the : prefix):

process=":formId:scenarioTabViewId:isApprovedBooleanId_checkBox"

An alternative would be to bind the physical checkbox component to the view like so:

<p:selectBooleanCheckbox binding="#{checkbox}" ... />

And then reference its client ID with help of UIComponent#getClientId() like so (also here, note the : prefix):

process=":#{checkbox.clientId}"
