Nothing accrues afterwards, and the balance is whatever you set through adjustments. Pass the member's active assignment as `current_assignment_id` and it is ended on `valid_from` in the same transaction; without it, an assignment overlapping `valid_from` makes the call fail. A `valid_until` is only accepted on the day before the next assignment starts or on the member's last employment day, so leave it null to stay open ended. Gaps or overlaps that predate this rule are tolerated, but the switch may not widen them. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.absentify.com/api/v1/openapi.json post /members/{member_id}/manual-rule openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: absentify CRUD API description: OpenAPI compliant REST API version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://api.absentify.com/api/v1 security: [] tags: - name: Departments - name: Leave types - name: Members - name: Requests - name: Public holidays - name: Workspace - name: Absences - name: Allowance Management - name: Out of office externalDocs: url: https://absentify.com/docs/en/api-reference paths: /members/{member_id}/manual-rule: post: tags: - Allowance Management summary: Switch a member to manual allowance management description: >- Takes the member off automatic accrual for this allowance type from `valid_from` on.
