The user does not have write permission for an affected calculated field.

In Legacy Goal Management, the calculated field, such as goal-score, rating, weight fields, could be modified by users if they had the ability to edit goals.

With Latest Goal Management, users need to have the write permission to modify the calculated field.

The permission needs to be updated in the Goal Plan XML, and this can only be modified via Provisioning. 

As a customer, you do not have access to Provisioning. Please engage your Certified Partner to implement the fix. If you do not have a certified partner, you can look for one using 2149831 - SAP Professional Services / SAP Certified Partner / SAP Account Management Team [SuccessFactors Cloud].
