CAC Resources Associated with Overheads Setup
Description:
Report to show which resources are associated with which overheads and which resources are associated with which departments. And find any resources which do not have any overhead associations. If there are no overhead associations the first report column will say “Missing”. If the resource/overhead association exists, the first column of the report will say “Set Up”.
Note: if a resource does not have a cost, the Resource Rate column has a blank or empty value.
Parameters:
Resource/Overhead Cost Type: enter the cost type you wish to report for your resources and overheads. If left blank, depending on your Costing Method, it defaults to your AvgRates or Frozen Cost Type (optional). Category Set 1: any item category you wish, typically the Cost or Product Line category set (optional). Category Set 2: any item category you wish, typically the Inventory category set (optional). Organization Code: enter the specific inventory organization(s) you wish to report (optional). Operating Unit: enter the specific operating unit(s) you wish to report (optional). Ledger: enter the specific ledger(s) you wish to report (optional).

Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC Resources Associated with Overheads Setup
Executive Summary
The CAC Resources Associated with Overheads Setup report is a configuration audit tool. In Oracle Costing, Overheads (like “Factory Burden”) are often applied based on Resource usage (e.g., “$10 of Overhead for every 1 hour of Labor”). This report validates that the links between Resources and Overheads are correctly established.
Business Challenge
- Under-Absorption: If “Labor” is not linked to “Fringe Benefits”, the product cost will exclude the benefit cost, leading to under-pricing.
- Complexity: A plant might have 50 resources and 10 overheads. Checking the 500 potential combinations manually is error-prone.
- Troubleshooting: “Why is the overhead calculation zero?”
Solution
This report visualizes the matrix.
- Mapping: Shows
Resource->Overhead. - Status: Explicitly flags “Missing” associations where a resource exists but has no overheads linked (if that is the business rule).
- Rates: Shows the basis (Item or Lot) and the rate.
Technical Architecture
- Tables:
cst_resource_overheads,bom_resources. - Logic: Uses a
LEFT JOINto find resources that should have overheads but don’t.
Parameters
- Resource/Overhead Cost Type: (Optional) Defaults to the costing method.
Performance
- Fast: Configuration data.
FAQ
Q: Can a resource have multiple overheads? A: Yes, Labor might attract “Fringe”, “Supervision”, and “Occupancy” overheads. All will be listed.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
