AND user_je_category_name = 'Receiving'

In R11i for Inventory Destination Transactions, the Receiving Transaction Processor Debits and Credits the Receiving Account and Inventory AP Accrual Account respectively in GL_INTERFACE and RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER. These Transactions in GL_INTERFACE are identified with User_je_source_name ='Purchasing' and user_je_category_name 'Receiving'. In RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER these transactions are identified by column accrual_method_flag ='O'
In R11i for Period End Transactions ie Transactions with accrue_on_receipt_flag ='N' in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL, no accounting transactions are generated on receipt of goods. The Receipt_Accrual_Period-End program generates the Accounting Entries in GL_INTERFACE and RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER simultaneously by Debiting Charge Account and Crediting Expense AP Accrual Account. In GL_INTERFACE the Transactions are identified by column names user_je_source_name='Purchasing' and user_je_category_name ='Acccrual'. In RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER the Transactions are identified by column Accrual_Method_flag ='P'.

In R11i both On Line Transactions and Period End Transactions are moved from GL_INTERFACE to GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES,GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE_LINES by JOURNAL IMPORT.

In R12 GL_INTEFACE TABLE is no longer directly used for Receiving Transactions. The Receiving Transaction Processor only populates the RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER with Inventory Destination Transactions. The Receipt_Accrual_Period-End program also only populates the RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER with Expense Destination Period End Accruals.

Create Accounting-Receiving Concurrent program from Cost Mangement Responsibility transfers the journals in RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER to SLA Tables. Once the accounting entries are created in receiving subledger for the receiving transactions, Create Accounting process gets started depending on the profile option CST:Receiving Accounting option and the encumbrance set up.

On submitting this program, it spawns the Accounting program which will do the validations and picks the data from table rcv_receiving_sub_ledger and process it according to the accrual method set for the POs

Depending on the accrual method and the value for profile SLA:Disable journal import, this spawned program "Accounting program" inserts the data into gl_interface first and then calls the Journal import program and posting program and populates the accounting events in subledger table xla_ae_headers and entries in xla_ae_lines and xla_distribution_links.
If there is any problem with the Journal import, the data will get rolled back from gl_interface. Once the Journal import is completed, data will get populated in gl_import_references,gl_je_headers and gl_je_lines.
