# Schedule a job

```http
PUT https://secure.yoprint.com/v2/api/store/{team_slug}/v2/job/{hash_id}/update_prod_date
```

- API version: v2
- Operation ID: `v2_public_job_update_prod_date`
- Section: Production › [Jobs](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/jobs.md)
- Web page: https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/jobs/v2-job-update-prod-date/
- Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`

Sets, moves or clears a job's production start and due dates. Returns the job, with every task's new dates, and a top-level `previous_schedule` next to `data`: the job and task dates as they were before the call.

- To schedule or move, send both dates. If every dated task still fits inside the new dates, the tasks stay where they are. Otherwise all dated tasks shift together so the earliest starts at the new `start_date`; a task start that would fall before the new `start_date` is set to it, a task due date that would fall after the new `due_date` is set to it, and a dated task without a due date gets the new due date.
- To unschedule, send both as `null`. Every task of the job loses its dates too. To undo, the web app sends the `previous_schedule` back to its restore call, which is not on the public API, so keep that value if you may need it.

Always send both keys: leaving both out (`{}`) is the same as sending both null, and unschedules the job.

## Permission

Any member of the team; this route checks no sales order permission.

## Business rules

- Send both dates, or both as null. One null and the other set is a 422 `job_validation_error`: "Invalid date range. Both start/due dates should either be set or null." Sending only one of the two keys is a 422 `validation_failed`.
- `start_date` after `due_date` is a 422 `job_validation_error`: "Invalid date range. Due Date should be greater than Start Date."
- Leaving both keys out is the same as sending both null: it unschedules the job and clears every task's dates.

## Side effects

- Moves the job's dated tasks when they no longer fit the new dates (see above), or clears every task's dates when you unschedule.
- Open Admin Portal calendars and boards refresh.

## Path parameters

- `team_slug` (string, required): Your team slug, shown as Team ID next to your API key in Profile. Example `your-team`.
- `hash_id` (string, required): The job's hash id (`id`). Hash ids only: a unique key or a document number gives 404. Example `WaGvtaWsx7Kcn4`.

## Query parameters

- `omit_media_approval_items` (string, optional): Optional. `1` (or `true`, `yes`, `on`) makes the answer smaller: each mockup and production file's `current_approval` leaves out its `items` list, and every other key stays as it is. The job's `pending_approval` and webhook payloads keep their items. Every file repeats its approval with all of its items, so a job with many files on one approval answers with far less data this way; read approval items from the approvals operations instead. Left out (or any other value), the answer is unchanged. Only the query string is read: a body field with this name is ignored. Example `1`.

## Request body

Content type `application/json`, required.

Fields:

- `due_date` (string (date-time) | null, required): The production due date (an ISO 8601 date or date-time), or null to unschedule. Not before `start_date`.
- `start_date` (string (date-time) | null, required): The production start (an ISO 8601 date or date-time), or null to unschedule.

### Example request

```bash
curl -X PUT 'https://secure.yoprint.com/v2/api/store/your-team/v2/job/WaGvtaWsx7Kcn4/update_prod_date' \

    "start_date": "2026-11-04T09:00:00Z"
  }'
```

Another example: Unschedule:

## Errors

- `401` The API key is missing or wrong (`unauthenticated`).
- `403` You are not allowed to do this. `api_access_not_in_plan`: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only `{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}`. Other refusals use the error envelope, with `unauthorized` or `user_is_not_authorized`.
- `404` Not found. `page_not_found`: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. `code: null`, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.
  - When: The job isn't your team's, or its order is an old (version 1) order. Jobs on quotes work too. Fix: Check the job id.
- `422` The request was refused and changed nothing. `validation_failed` lists what to fix in `error.fields`; other codes name a business rule, explained in `error.message`. A few checks answer with only `{"message": "..."}`. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answer `connect_timeout` ("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.
  - When: Only one of the two keys is sent, or a date isn't ISO 8601 (`validation_failed`, details in `error.fields`). Fix: Send both keys, as ISO 8601 date-times or null.
  - When: One date is null and the other set, or the start is after the due date (`job_validation_error`). Fix: Send both dates in order, or both null.
