SAP SuccessFactors Goal Management

Please find below guidelines on how to create your goal plan.

1. Proxy as a test user with complete hierarchy a.k.a. has a user for each role in your organization.
2. Click on the tab where your goal plans are located.
3. Locate a plan in your instance that resembles the new plan that you want to create. The requirement so far is:
   
   copy goal plan named ______, rename the copy to be ______ and make changes on the copy

Look at the different fields.

• Are the fields in the order that you want?
• Do the fields containing dates have the correct default dates?
• Does the status dropdown selections appear with the correct colors?
• Do the fields accept the correct type of data? For example, should a text field be able to accept more data and therefore be a textarea field?

Fill out the goal plan.

• Can you copy from another goal plan? Should you be able to?
• Do you have write permissions to the correct fields?
• Do you have read permissions to the correct fields?
• Can you cascade a goal? Should you be able to?
• Can you delete a goal? Should you be able to?
• Can you see private goals? Should you be able to?

Proxy to each member of your test user's hierarchy (their manager, 2nd level manager ...).

• Search for the test user.
• do 5b-5f above

Launch a form to a test user that is linked to your goal plan. In the goal section, do the correct fields appear?

Important

• Goal plan changes are realtime and appear immediately.
• Make sure to run your reports that will be created after going live.
• Changes to goal plans impact live forms that are linked to them.
• Don't wait until the last minute to create your case.
• Changing requirements after work has started will lengthen the process.
• It is best to submit all (thorough) requirements at the start of the case.
