Set or reset the payer approval status

patch

https://api.wingspan.app/v3/payments/payables/{payableId}/workflow-status

Update the payer-controlled payerApprovalStatus (Pending, PreApproved, Approved, Declined) on a Pending or Opened Payable. Supplying null resets the status to Pending. Direct payment initiation retains its separate eligibility gate; approval does not change the Payable lifecycle status. Only Approved payables are included in payroll runs. Reusing an Idempotency-Key with the same body within 24 hours replays the original logical result; reusing it with a different body returns 409.

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).
