When the application calculates the pay for a Request for Personnel Action (RPA), it references the pay plan, grade, and step information as well as other information, such as the pay rate determinant and duty station.
See: Pay Calculations on an RPA
You specify grade and pay plan information when you create a position, and you specify the step information when you appoint someone using an RPA (Request for Personnel Action). The number of steps depends upon the pay plan; for example, Pay Plan GG has a step range of 01-10.
The application comes with predefined pay tables and pay plans, grades, and steps used by most federal agencies. The following list describes the standard and special rate tables supplied by Oracle US Federal HR:
