Question
There are two distinct lists of grades that should be available in two separate business units of your organization. During testing, you notice that the lists of grades of the two business units are not per the requirement. What went wrong in the setup?
Options
- AAll grades are associates with the COMMON set only.
- BAn incorrect grade ladder is attaches to the two business units.
- CThe grade rates of the two business units have been interchanged.
- DIncorrect Reference Data Sets (Set ID) are used with each Business Unit.

Toby R.Feb 5, 2026D is your answer here. When you set up grades in Oracle Global Human Resources, the way you control which grades are visible to which business unit is through Reference Data Sets, also called Set IDs. If the wrong Set ID is assigned to a business unit, that unit will pull grades from the wrong set, which is exactly what the symptom describes, two business units seeing grades that do not match their requirements. The other options are distractors because a shared COMMON set would make all grades visible everywhere (not separated), a wrong grade ladder affects progression not visibility, and grade rates are about pay, not which grades appear in the list.
Marisol N.Feb 6, 2026Toby nailed the core mechanic, but worth adding that if a business unit is intentionally assigned the COMMON set, that is not a misconfiguration by itself, the exam distinguishes between a valid COMMON assignment and an accidental one, so read those scenario stems carefully for words like "unintended" or "incorrect" before eliminating options.
Aleksei K.Feb 14, 2026D is the right call here. Reference Data Sets (Set IDs) are what control which grades, grade ladders, and other reference data each Business Unit actually sees, so if you mixed them up or left both BUs pointing at the same Set ID, you get exactly this kind of bleed-over or mismatch. Quick question though: when you set up the BUs, did you explicitly assign a unique Set ID to each one under the Reference Data Sharing configuration, or did you just assume the system would scope them separately by default?
Mateus R.Feb 15, 2026Aleksei nailed the core issue, but worth adding that the SetID assignment is not one switch per BU, it is a table-by-table mapping through Record Groups, so you can fix the salary grade bleed and still get payroll or job code contamination if you only updated some of those group mappings and left others pointing at the shared Set ID.
Marisol N.Jan 23, 2026D, wrong Set ID assigned means each BU pulls the other's grade list. Saw this exact scenario on my sitting, two BUs, two grade lists, everything looked configured but results were swapped. I almost picked B because the ladder language threw me, but then I remembered that Set IDs are the gate for Reference Data partitioning in HCM, not the ladder attachment. Once I reframed it as a data-visibility problem rather than a structure problem, D was obvious. Exam topic is Manage Grades and Grade Rates under the Workforce Structures domain, so tie your Set ID knowledge to that section when you review.
Mateus R.Feb 19, 2026I almost circled B because I was thinking the grade ladder was the culprit, like blaming the wrong shelf in a filing cabinet instead of asking who labeled the folders wrong in the first place, but then I remembered that in Oracle HCM, a Reference Data Set (Set ID) is basically the name tag stapled to each piece of data telling it which Business Unit it belongs to, so if the wrong Set ID is tied to a Business Unit, that unit will reach into the wrong filing cabinet entirely and pull out grades meant for somebody else.
