Purchasing

Void a payment batch

Authorization: requires purchasing:write API-key scope AND the per-user payments.refund_void permission (SoD parity sweep 2026-05-16). Voiding a NACHA payment batch cascade-deletes the underlying ap_payments rows + ap_payment_applications rows for the batch: effectively a bulk void of every payment in the batch. Industry pattern treats bank-batch reversal as the most-trusted AP action, hence the elevated per-user gate. System-actor calls without an identifiable principal are denied per AICPA SoC2 CC6.1.

State transitions enforced by the canonical voidPaymentBatch handler:

If batch status = 'confirmed_sent': HTTP 409 cannot_void_confirmed_batch. Confirmed-sent batches have posted GL (DR Accounts Payable / CR Bank) and are bank-transmitted. To reverse, void each individual ap_payment via DELETE /v1/ap-payments/{id} (each payment void reverses its own GL journal entry).
If batch status = 'voided': HTTP 200 no-op (idempotent).
Otherwise (draft / nacha_generated): the cascade runs atomically inside one transaction. No GL reversal needed because Track I defers GL posting to confirm-sent; draft/generated batches have not posted. The voided batch row is retained (status -> voided, total_cents -> 0) for audit trail.

Body fields are optional; reason is logged to the activity feed and broadcast on the payment_batch.voided event.
