Overview

APPS.PA_REP_UTIL_ACT_RUCR_GE_V is an Oracle E-Business Suite internal reporting view owned by the APPS schema. It resides in the Projects (PA) application and is designated as an internal view type, meaning it is intended for use by standard Oracle Applications programs — specifically the Resource Utilization reporting components of Project Resource Management — rather than for direct customer access. The view consolidates actual resource utilization data weighted by resource utilization categories, producing one row per person per utilization category within the reporting scope.

The acronym RUCR in the view name reflects "Reporting Utilization Category Resource" concepts, and the GE suffix indicates a reporting/global reporting variant. The view exposes the UTILIZATION_CATEGORY_ID and its descriptive UTILIZATION_CATEGORY_NAME alongside per-person worked hours and a weighted utilization figure. Because it is documented as "Oracle Internal Use Only," Oracle Corporation does not support direct customer access to this object except through standard Oracle Applications programs.

Underlying Base Objects

The ETRM metadata records that PA_REP_UTIL_ACT_RUCR_GE_V is defined over the following base objects:

  • PA_OBJECTS (synonym) — supplies object metadata used in the reporting logic.
  • PA_REP_UTIL_GLOB (package) — the resource utilization reporting package providing global-scope functions.
  • PA_REP_UTIL_SCREEN (package) — the resource utilization reporting package providing screen-level logic and parameters.
  • PA_SUMM_BALANCES (synonym) — the summary balances table holding summarized actual hours and amounts, which is the primary numeric source for workload figures.
  • PA_UTIL_CATEGORIES_V (view) — the utilization categories view that resolves UTILIZATION_CATEGORY_ID to its descriptive name and reporting order.

The view is not referenced by any other database object, confirming it functions as a terminal reporting construct rather than a building block for further dependencies.

Key Columns

  • UTILIZATION_CATEGORY_NAME (VARCHAR2, 80) — the display name of the resource utilization category.
  • UTILIZATION_CATEGORY_ID (NUMBER) — the internal identifier of the resource utilization category, the column most commonly used for joins and filters when querying this view.
  • PERSON_ID (NUMBER) — the internal identifier of the person resource.
  • WORKED_HOURS (NUMBER) — the total actual hours of the person resource.
  • UTILIZATION (NUMBER) — the total actual hours weighted by the resource utilization categories.
  • REPORTING_ORDER (NUMBER) — the sequence in which utilization categories are presented in reporting.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is driving the Resource Utilization report within Oracle Projects, where utilization categories such as Billable, Non-Billable, and Internal are weighted to produce meaningful utilization percentages. Business analysts often query the view directly to reconcile reporting output, though this is unsupported. A typical query retrieving weighted utilization by category is:

  • SELECT UTILIZATION_CATEGORY_NAME, UTILIZATION_CATEGORY_ID, PERSON_ID, WORKED_HOURS, UTILIZATION, REPORTING_ORDER FROM APPS.PA_REP_UTIL_ACT_RUCR_GE_V ORDER BY REPORTING_ORDER, PERSON_ID;

Because UTILIZATION_CATEGORY_ID is the join key, a common variant filters by a specific category to isolate, for example, billable utilization:

  • SELECT PERSON_ID, WORKED_HOURS, UTILIZATION FROM APPS.PA_REP_UTIL_ACT_RUCR_GE_V WHERE UTILIZATION_CATEGORY_ID = :p_util_cat_id;

The view is best consumed through the standard Resource Utilization screen or concurrent program logic, with direct SQL reserved for diagnostics and reconciliation.
