We have added 1 more endpoint to the WFM API: LeaveBalances. This new endpoint is available for all WFM API consumers. The LeaveBalances endpoint delivers information about  leave entitlement and the leave taken. Learn more about this endpoint in our knowledge base.

23-8-2022: change fields PersonId/Personcode

The properties PersonId and Personcode did not refer to the same source in HR Core Business throughout the WFM API. Sometimes the property PersonId refered to the UPI, sometimes to the Personcode. Same for the property Personcode.

To have a logical and more intuitive explanation of the properies, we have synchronized the mapping throughout the WFM API.

The PersonId and Personcode is synchronized for all endpoint in WFM API:

• PersonId - refers to the UPI (NL: Uniek Persoonlijk Id) in HR Core Business
• PersonCode  - refers to the Person code (NL: Persoonscode) in HR Core Business

This change has no impact for consumers of the WFM API. When the Person layer is enabled in HR Core Business (requirement for normal usage of WFM API), these values are the same. Therefore, switching the mapping in the WFM API has no impact for WFM API consumers. 

19-07-2022: change of description of leaveBalancesPayroll endpoint

LeaveBalancesPayroll endpoint - The HR Core Business example of Id property has changed.

Old text:

• id - Combined field of: [PersonId] +  [Payroll year] + [Payroll period] ...

New:

• id - Combined field of: [EmployeeId] +  [Payroll year] + [Payroll period] ...

The description of the user endpoint : WFM LeaveBalancesPayroll endpoint.

13-07-2022: Leaves endpoint

Three more endpoints are added to the WFM API: Leaves, LeaveTypes, LeaveReasons. Learn more about these endpoints in our knowledge base.

13-05-2022: managerPersonCode removed from endpoint OrganizationUnits
