In your client company, one of the users has created a global rating scale but is unable to find it in the List of Values while defining a local competency. Identify the two reasons.

Question

Options

• AThe user is trying to create a local competency hence the global scale is not available.
• BThe user has created a rating scale of the type Proficiency.
• CThe user has created a rating scale of the type Weighting.
• DThe user has created a rating scale of the type Performance.
• EThe user has not marked the rating scale as a default rating scale.
• FThe user has not specified the cluster name to which the competency belongs.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  10% (3)
• C
  83% (24)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

When defining a competency (local or global) in Oracle HCM, the List of Values for the proficiency rating scale only displays scales of type "Proficiency" - scales typed as Weighting (C) or Performance (D) are filtered out entirely, because they serve different functional purposes (weighting criteria and performance appraisals, respectively) and are irrelevant to competency proficiency measurement.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because global rating scales are accessible when creating local competencies - the local/global distinction on the competency doesn't restrict scale availability by type.
• B is wrong because Proficiency type is exactly correct - a Proficiency-type scale would appear in the LOV, so this cannot be a reason it's missing.
• E is wrong because the "default" flag affects which scale is pre-selected automatically, not whether the scale appears in the LOV at all.
• F is wrong because the cluster name is a classification attribute of the competency itself and has no bearing on which rating scales are visible.

Memory tip: Think "match the type to the task" - the competency proficiency field is a specialized slot that only accepts Proficiency-type scales. Performance and Weighting scales are excluded because they belong to different evaluation contexts, just like you wouldn't use a thermometer to measure weight.
