TAFWXRefCode Is Null for Time Off Requests Created Through the Dayforce UI

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue with Dayforce Time Off requests created directly through the UI. The TAFWXRefCode is coming back as null for these requests.

In my current implementation, I need the TAFWXRefCode to update a Time Off request using the Dayforce REST API. However, since the XRefCode is null for requests created through the UI, I'm unable to update them through the API.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a way to retrieve the TAFWXRefCode for a Time Off request created through the Dayforce UI, or is there another approach to update these requests using the REST API?

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi ​@jodebelson it’s by design.  At this time you cannot update time requests created in the platform via API.  If you are externally creating time off requests, you are able to provide a TAFWXRefCode on POST and then can update that record after the fact.
