If a manager wishes to assign a new manager for their employee, they must first select a new manager in the employee's master data and select a deadline for the change-over. This triggers a New manager assignment request. For more information, see Assigning new managers.
If you are selected as the new manager, you receive an approval request from the old manager. After you have accepted the change of manager, you automatically become the new manager on the given date.
You can already cancel entitlements assigned to the employee on the given date.
