In AR transaction form (...

  1. In AR transaction form (R12) LE name is visible where as in invoice in payables both LE and OU names are visible. Does it mean that in R12 Ar is created as LE level and in payables invoices are created at both OU and LE level.
  2. In R12 one LE can assign to multiplem BSVs. Appreciate if some one can clarify this with any business scenario.

1>    In AR transaction form

1>    In AR transaction form you first enter the transaction batch source which is defined @ the OU level.  So effectively when you select a source you are mentioning the OU where the transaction is being created.
LE value in transaction form is not mandatory and you can select as per the requirement.

In 11i we have a one to one mapping between LE and OU but in R12 when we create an OU we attach a default legal context but the same OU can be used for a different LE context.

2>    In R12 one LE can assign to multiplem BSVs. Appreciate if some one can clarify this with any business scenario.
Let say Oracle operates as 3 different entities in India
Oracle Accelerator, Oracle Support and Oracle Consultancy.
Now if they implement oracle financials for all these three organizations in India and have a single tax registration then they can do so by just creating a single Legal entity.
But for operation purpose all these three are different entity and the organization wants the P/L statement, BS and other finical statements at entity level. In more oracle term suppose their accounting structure is
Company Segment. Cost Center. N/A segment. Product Segment. I/C Segment
And Company segment is the balancing segment then they can create three different values for each of the entity
 Oracle Accelerator 101,
Oracle Support  102
and Oracle Consultancy 103
And finally they ‘ll assign these values to the India legal entity.
