Please Note: 

• If the Global Assignment is created via Imports, ending it via UI will not automatically create the Back from Global Assignment in HOME. A Job History Import for the Back from Global Assignment has to be completed.
• If using the Position Management feature Right to Return, please note this is currently only supported for Global Assignments created via the UI. No Right to Return processes will be triggered for Global Assignments created via import. 

FAQ

Q) If we are not using the GACONFIG object to automatically End assignments and to automatically add the "Away" and "Back from" Job Info records to the HOME account, should I import those records manually?

A) Yes you will need to import them manually, but we do recommend using the GACONFIG object to automate these actions

Q) Does adding the Add and End Global Assignment record in the HOST Account create the Away and Back from Global Assignment in the HOME Assignment when done via Import?

A) No, Imports Engine does not have support for this. When creating the "Add/End Global Assignment" in the HOST Account, it will not create a the "Away/Back from Global Assignment" in the HOME Assignment. The Job Information records have to be imported for the HOME Assignment.
