3529597 - "No goal creation option is available to you" message in Latest Goals after 2H 2024 release

Symptom

After 2H 2024 release upgrade "No goal creation option is available to you. Please contact your administrator for help." message appears in Goals menu

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Latest Goal Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Goals menu
  2. Click  "Create Goal" button.
  3. The following message is displayed "No goal creation option is available to you. Please contact your administrator for help."
  4. You can't create a new goal

Cause

This system behaviour appears when all goal creation options are switched off in the system:

1. The turnoff-add-personal-goal-button switch is set to "on" in the goal plan template. Starting from 2H 2024 release the turnoff-add-personal-goal-button switch is now supported in the Latest Goal Management. This settings allows you to hide the "Create from Scratch" goal creation option for performance goals.  

Note: This settings might have been set to "on" long ago in Legacy goal management and with the 2H 2024 it will become active.

2. The Admin Center > Goal Management Feature Settings  > TGM/CDP Goal Transfer Wizard option is turned off, therefore you can't copy goals between goal plans.

3. No Goal Library content is mapped to the goal plan template, therefore you can't create goals from the library.

Resolution

Set one or more goal creation options in the system:
