HCM Data Loader Support for Workforce Schedule Import

Now you can create, update, or delete workforce schedules using the ScheduleRequest object and HCM Data Loader. And you can import schedules with up to three business object levels:

  • ScheduleRequest sets the overall context, including staffing departments, import dates, and whether you want a full import or just an update.
DepartmentName LocationCode LocationSetCode StartDate EndDate ImportMode
Maternity, LA WFM_LOSANGELES COMMON 2025/09/01 2025/09/30 FULL
  • ScheduleEvent shows which worker is assigned to a shift, or notes if a shift is open.
ImportMode PersonNumber OpenShift
FULL WORKER_ASG_001 N
  • ScheduleShiftEvent gives all the details about each shift.
