PATCH Call Error When Deleting Schedules

One of our partners recently ran into an issue while trying to delete a schedule via a PATCH call. The API returned:

“You are no longer able to make one or more of the submitted changes.”

The timesheet wasn’t locked, the pay period was open, and all the right permissions were in place — but the error persisted.

💡 Expert Tip

Sometimes permissions look fine, but a subtle difference in date context or role access can block a delete. It’s always worth testing if the same user can perform the delete in the Dayforce UI — this helps isolate whether it’s a data permission or API-layer restriction.
