3527303 - Unable to update goal rating via import even if the rating field is not calculated through MLT - Goal Management

Symptom

The goal rating cannot be imported even if the rating field is not generated through the metric lookup table. When using the Import Performance Goals tool to update the goal, the "rating" field becomes "-" in the User Interface (UI) and -999999 in the report.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental. 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Goal Management

Reproducing the Issue

1. Verify in the Goal plan template that the rating field is not associated with any calculations.
2. Navigate to the Goal Plan.
3. Ensure that the specific goal has a value assigned to the rating field, for example, 20.

4. Use the "Import Performance Goals" tool to update the rating to a new value, for example, 50.
5. After importing the file, the rating appears as "-" in the UI and -999999 in the report.

Resolution

This enhancement is planned to be deployed on 1H 2025 release (b2505).
After the enhancement, the import process will verify if the rating field is associated with any calculation/auto-population. If it is not, the rating will be importable.
If it is generated through calculation, the calculated goal rating cannot be added/updated through import. To change or set the calculated rating, set values for the actual achievement and metric lookup table.
