Add schedule entry
Schedule an employee on a job cost centre for a time block.
MCP tool simpro_write → add_schedule_entry
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.
