Deletes a vendor bill.

DELETE /accounting/vendor-bills/{id}

Group: Accounting › Vendor Bills · Operation ID: deleteVendorBill

The response is empty. Deleting is permanent, and four states block it, each checked before anything is written. A bill paid even in part gives VENDOR_BILL_PAID. A bill whose withheld tax has been remitted to the tax authority gives WITHHOLDING_REMITTED. A bill with posted amortization schedule lines gives POSTED_AMORTIZATION. A bill whose posting period is closed or locked gives POSTING_PERIOD_CLOSED. A draft bill skips all four checks, and a zero-amount bill is exempt from the payment and posting-period checks. Deleting is not voiding: a posted bill that must leave an audit trail should be voided instead, which is not part of this version.

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
`Api-Version`	header	`"v1"`	yes	The API version this request targets, named by its public identifier. Required on every request; omitting it, or naming a version this company does not have, is answered with 400. This document describes version `v1`.
`Idempotency-Key`	header	string	no	An opaque caller-chosen string (1-255 characters) that makes this request safe to retry. Repeating the same key with an identical request body replays the original response instead of re-executing - but only once that original request succeeded; a failed attempt re-executes on retry. Repeating the key with a different body is answered with 422. A key still in flight is answered with 409 - as is a key whose original request was interrupted before it finished, for a few minutes afterwards, until that attempt is presumed dead. A completed response stays replayable for 24 hours. The key is scoped to the caller, not to the action: reusing it for a different action is answered with 409 or 422 rather than treated independently. On read actions this header is ignored. On write actions that cannot offer the guarantee it is answered with `400 IDEMPOTENCY_NOT_SUPPORTED` rather than silently ignored.
`id`	path	string	yes	The unique identifier for the vendor bill to delete.
