How to update assignment and manager in same REST PATCH Call

edited Jan 7, 2026 11:25AM in HCM REST APIs

Question: How to update assignment and manager in same REST Call, is it possible?

Tried:

If we use UI for changing employee department and manager in same update from same effective start date, then history is showing as

Example: from 07/01/2016, job and manager changed from UI

But if we use REST API, we use below PATCH invokes separately,

First assignment patch to update department

Then using manager patch to update manager

PATCH /hcmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/workers/{workersUniqID}/child/workRelationships/{PeriodOfServiceId}/child/assignments/{assignmentsUniqID}

RangeMode=UPDATE;RangeStartDate=2026-01-07;RangeEndDate=4712-12-31

PATCH /hcmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/workers/{workersUniqID}/child/workRelationships/{PeriodOfServiceId}/child/assignments/{assignmentsUniqID}/child/managers/{managersUniqID}

Howdy, Stranger!
