Environment
SuccessFactors Busineess Execution Suite - Compensation & Variable Pay
Cause
This is a rounding issue. Field 'Business Section Amount' (id = business SectionAmount) is $2,747.885 and each Goal Weight is 50%, field 'Target Payout' (id = goalBasis) of one goal is 50% * $2,747.885 = $1,373.9425, after number formatting the value is $1,373.943. As there are 2 goals, the total value = $1,373.943 * 2 = $2,747.886.

Resolution
In order to avoid this discrepancy, you can define the Number Format of the field 'Target Payout' (id = goalBasis) as #,##0.000##.
