Update Supervisor/ manager of an employee

Hi,

I want to develop a report/ interface to change supervisor/ manager of an employee using incoming file from third-party system.

I have checked different ways to update manager field and still the only way I find is update table HRP1001 but updating a standard table directly seems to be not a good idea and it is also not advisable. I didn't get any BAPI/ FM to achieve this output.

Is there any BAPI/ FM which can be used to update manager id for an employee?

Regards,

Nilesh
