Schedule an employee on a job cost centre for a time block.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/simpro/jobs/{job_id}/schedule-entries
write Confirm
Creates a schedule block for one employee on a job, section and cost centre and returns it. If timesheets are locked for that date, Simpro refuses it. The block shows in that employee's schedule. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
