Delete a job
AI agents: read /llms.txt; add .md to any page URL. This page as Markdown: /reference/jobs/v2-job-destroy.md. Index of every page and the rules for every call: /llms.txt. Guides and concepts in one file: /llms-full.txt. OpenAPI: /openapi.json.
DELETE/
Check success, not only the HTTP status: when the job's order is neither a draft nor published, this call deletes the job anyway and then answers HTTP 200 with { "status": 500, "success": false, "error": { "code": "action_not_allowed", "message": null } }.
Deletes a job and every line item on it.
Deleting a job also removes those lines from the order's shipments and invoices, releases the stock allocated to them, removes their needs-ordering entries, and recalculates the order's totals. It can't be undone.
On an order that came from Shopify the lines are not deleted: they stay on the order without a job.
Side effects
- Deletes the job's line items (Shopify orders: detaches them instead).
- Deletes the matching shipment and invoice line items, so shipment and invoice totals change (not on Shopify orders).
- Releases allocated stock and removes the needs-ordering entries of the deleted lines (not on Shopify orders).
- Recalculates the sales order totals (not on Shopify orders). Open Admin Portal pages refresh, and on a published order so do Customer Portal pages the customer has open.
Path parameters

Request body
This operation takes no request body.
Response
200Successful response.
Errors
401The API key is missing or wrong (
unauthenticated).403You are not allowed to do this.
api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, withunauthorizedoruser_is_not_authorized.- When
- Your role can't edit this order (
user_is_not_authorized). - Fix
- Ask the team owner to give your role Manage Sales Orders, or assign you to the order.
404Not found.
page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's.code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.- When
- The job isn't on one of your team's sales orders.
- Fix
- Check the job id.
422The request was refused and changed nothing.
validation_failedlists what to fix inerror.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained inerror.message. A few checks answer with only{"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answerconnect_timeout("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.
Notes
- A refusal here is HTTP 200 with
success: falseanderror.codeaction_not_allowed(the body'sstatussays 500). A client that only checks the HTTP status will treat it as done. - Lines are removed from invoices even when the invoice has payments. Check the order's invoices before you delete a job.
