Move the resource assignment to a new start and end dates to accommodate changes in task scheduling or resource allocation. Shift assignments to balance workloads across resources and avoid over-allocation.

## Before you begin

Role required: resource_user, resource_manager

## About this task

* When you move an assignment to a new start and end dates, the initial requested or approved efforts are retained for the latest duration.
* When an assignment is moved, the Ready for review state is retained and the assignment remains accessible to resource managers for work allocation.
* You cannot move a resource assignment if actuals efforts are entered for the work.
* New assignment dates should be within the task duration dates.
