Why receivable transaction workbench is showing LE name instead of OU name

Receivables:

All Receivables activity must have a legal owner, so Legal Entity is stamped on every transaction. Receivables activity such as transaction whether credit memo or debit memo or invoice must have stamps on it and receipt header with the Legal Entity information.

Because there can be multiple legal entities using the same ledger, it may be necessary for the user to assign the LE. Each transaction can only belong to one Legal Entity, so when multiple legal entities exist, either the system or the user will assign the LE.

Transaction

The defaulting hierarchy for a transaction comes from the setup of the Transaction Type and Transaction Batch Source. Receivables will look first to the Transaction type. If a LE has not been assigned, then Receivables will look to the Batch Source. The assignment of the LE to the Transaction Type and Transaction Batch Source is option, so if Receivables cannot find a default LE, then it is up to the user to provide the LE value.

Payable

Invoices and Payments indicate the operating unit and the legal entity owner of the transaction. The legal entity can be used as selection criteria when preparing pay runs.
