ACTUAL BEHAVIOR

When a Receivables invoice is validated and Exchange Protocol (EXP) is installed, an EXP hold is placed.
As part of the EXP approval process, the invoice GL_DATE and ACCOUNTING_DATE are changed to the date the EXP Transmission Unit is approved. This is the expected functionality.

However XLA_EVENTS.EVENT_DATE is not updated accordingly. 
In Release 12 because XLA_EVENTS.EVENT_DATE does not get updated, it is out of sync with the invoice GL_DATE and ACCOUNTING_DATE.
The same issue occurred in Payables (AP) and for this <Bug 21681771> - APPROVE TRANSMISSION UNIT AS FINAL APPROVER LEADS TO SLA DATA CORRUPTION has been created and a patch has been released.
The same fix is also required for Receivables (AR).

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Expected that if OPSFi EXP is resetting the invoice GL_DATE and ACCOUNTING_DATE that it will also reset the XLA_EVENTS.EVENT_DATE.

STEPS
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Use EXP to validate and approve an AR invoice where the invoice date is earlier than the sysdate

2. The invoice GL_DATE and ACCOUNTING_DATE are changed to the date the EXP Transmission Unit is approved

3. Observe XLA_EVENTS.EVENT_DATE is not updated accordingly
