Grade Step Progression Setup and Maintenance Tasks

You can move people automatically from one grade, or grade and step, to the next level in a grade ladder using grade step progression. To do this, complete these setup tasks in the sequence listed.

Task Name Description Recommended Help
Manage Common Lookups Optionally, create groups for progression grade ladders using the ORA_CMP_GSP_GRADE_LADDER_GRP lookup. You can associate progression grade ladders with a group. Then you can use the group of ladders instead of a single ladder when processing grade step progressions.
Progression Grade Ladder Create progression grade ladders with the grades, or grades and steps, that people should progress through, and the rules for progression. For example, you create a grade ladder for manufacturing workers with the Job Assembly II grade. The grade has three steps. Progression rules move people with that grade from 1 step to the next, every 6 months.
