About labor forecast limits

Setup Data Manager (SDM) enables customers to transfer Time application setup data — including Labor Forecast Limits (LFLs) — between WFM tenants (typically from a UAT or NPR environment to Production). SDM resolves items by name, not by internal ID, and processes each LFL as an independent unit within a single publish operation.

Due to the architecture of how SDM validates and applies LFL job assignments, certain multi-LFL reconfiguration scenarios are not supported through SDM and must be performed manually in the target environment. This document describes those limitations so that administrators can plan their configuration workflows accordingly.
