How You Default the Manager in Hire and Create Work Relationship Flows

The line manager value is typically defaulted to the person doing the transaction in the Add Person and Create Work Relationship responsive flows. You can change this value at any time.

However, if you don't want to default the manager value in an assignment, then you need to disable the Default Logged in User as Line Manager Enabled (ORA_PER_EMPL_DFLT_LOGGED_USER_AS_LINE_MGR_ENABLED ) profile option. The manager can also be defaulted from the position hierarchy if position synchronization is enabled or from the parent department if the value of the profile option PER_DEPARTMENT_TREE_FOR_MANAGER is Yes.

The value in the Default Logged in User as Line Manager Enabled profile option doesn't impact these - HCM Data Loader (HDL), REST, classic Add Person and Create Work Relationship flows, Manage Users, and Offer or Convert Offer flows.
