Cancel a payable

post

https://api.wingspan.app/v3/payments/payables/{payableId}/cancel

Transition a Payable to Cancelled. Valid for Created, Opened, or Pending status. An eligible held payroll Payable with a nonzero amount is refunded to the account that funded it. Returns 409 if the Payable cannot be cancelled. The detail code payments.PayableCancelRetryLater means the payroll collection is still settling; payments.PayableCancelContactSupport means the Payable cannot safely be cancelled here.

Headers

Idempotency-Key

string

length between 1 and 255

^[\x21-\x7e]{1,255}$

Optional idempotency token for authenticated POST and PATCH requests. Reusing the same key and body returns the cached response for 24 hours, except credential operations that explicitly document a 409 because one-time secret material is never cached; reusing it with a different body returns 409 IdempotencyKeyConflict. Use 1-255 printable ASCII characters.

X-Wingspan-Account

string

^(?:[A-Za-z0-9_.]{22}|[a-f0-9]{24})$

Select the Account for an Account-scoped operation. A direct ServiceAccount API key MUST supply this header, and the target must be within the ServiceAccount owner's or Authorization grant's Account boundary. A Person bearer may select an Account on which it has an active Stakeholder, and an Account session may select its bound Account (or a descendant only when the session explicitly includes descendants).
