Workforce Planning API: Schedule position cancellation
about 8 hours ago
You can now schedule position cancellations via API.
What's new
You can now schedule or immediately cancel one or more positions using the new Schedule Positions cancellation endpoint in the Workforce Planning API.
Why this change
This completes the previously released feature that made the Cancelled soon status visible in API responses.
With this release, external systems can now set that status by scheduling cancellations in advance, making workforce transitions easier to plan and communicate.
How it works
- The endpoint receives a list of position IDs and optionally a cancellation date.
- If a future cancellation date is provided, the position will immediately display as Cancelled soon until it transitions to Cancelled at midnight on the selected date.
- If no date is provided, the cancellation will happen immediately.
- Any failure to cancel a position from the list will result in the entire transaction failing.
- If the position is currently filled, it will automatically unassign employees linked to any openings before completing the cancellation, extending the existing Cancel Position endpoint, which will fail in such a scenario.
