The CR_RSRC_DTL table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical repository for detailed resource information within the Costing module. This table stores granular data related to resource consumption, allocations, and costing across various business processes, particularly in manufacturing, project accounting, and inventory valuation. It serves as a foundational component for cost roll-up calculations, variance analysis, and financial reporting.

Key Attributes and Structure

The CR_RSRC_DTL table contains columns that capture transactional and master data elements, including:
  • RESOURCE_ID: Unique identifier linking to the BOM_RESOURCES table, defining the resource type (labor, machine, overhead, etc.).
  • ORGANIZATION_ID: Maps to HR_ORGANIZATION_UNITS, associating resources with specific inventory organizations.
  • COST_ELEMENT_ID: Categorizes costs into material, labor, overhead, or outside processing.
  • TRANSACTION_ID: References MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS or WIP_TRANSACTIONS for audit trails.
  • ACTUAL_QUANTITY and STANDARD_QUANTITY: Track consumed vs. expected resource units.
  • ACTUAL_COST and STANDARD_COST: Store monetary values for variance analysis.
  • PERIOD_ID: Ties records to accounting periods in GL_PERIODS.

Functional Integration

The table integrates with multiple EBS modules:
  1. Manufacturing (BOM/WIP): Captures resource usage in work orders, enabling job costing and production variance reporting.
  2. Inventory: Supports landed cost calculations and inventory valuation adjustments.
  3. Projects (PA): Allocates resource costs to projects via PA_EXPENDITURE_ITEMS integration.
  4. General Ledger: Feeds cost distributions to GL_INTERFACE for financial posting.

Technical Considerations

  • Indexing: Heavily indexed on RESOURCE_ID, ORGANIZATION_ID, and PERIOD_ID for performance in cost roll-up queries.
  • Partitioning: In 12.2.2, table partitioning by period improves archival and query performance.
  • Purge Logic: Managed via concurrent programs like "Cost Purge" to maintain optimal size.

Business Process Impact

Data in CR_RSRC_DTL directly influences:
  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) calculations
  • Production efficiency analysis through variance reports
  • Project profitability tracking
  • Standard cost updates via CST_STD_COSTS interface

Customization Considerations

Extensions to this table require careful analysis due to:
  • Triggers that enforce cost accounting rules
  • Dependencies in cost processor engine (CSTPACIN.pls)
  • Integration with subledger accounting (SLA) in 12.2.2
The CR_RSRC_DTL table exemplifies Oracle EBS's integrated costing architecture, providing the granular data needed for precise cost management while maintaining tight controls for financial compliance. Its design reflects the system's ability to handle complex manufacturing and project costing scenarios across global enterprises.
