Why are the amounts different between the grade step progression results and salary pages?

It's a timing issue.

• Amounts on salary pages are calculated based on the value of the ORA_CMP_USE_AFTE_INSTEAD_FTE profile option at the time you view the page.

• Grade step progression results are based on the value of the ORA_CMP_USE_AFTE_INSTEAD_FTE profile option at the time the process was run. The information won't change if you change the profile option after you run a process.

  You can identify the value of the profile option at runtime using the log file.
