1. Navigate to the variable pay template > manage plan details dropdown > business goals.
2.  Try to import business goals or create a new business goal , error message pops up.

Even though the business goal is present on the Set Bonus calculation page, the goal plan ID is not mapped correctly on the variable pay template xml as shown below.

<comp-goal-set-id><![CDATA[-1]]></comp-goal-set-id>

1. Download the template xml from Plan Setup > Settings > Advanced settings > download form template.
2. Change the following tag value from -1 to the related goal plan ID and import the xml.

<comp-goal-set-id><![CDATA[-1]]></comp-goal-set-id> on the vrp xml must be changed to

<comp-goal-set-id><![CDATA[related goal plan id]]></comp-goal-set-id>

Importing the xml into the instance needs access to provisioning. If you don't have access to provisioning please raise a ticket with SAP Support.
