# Delete a sales order by order number

> Looks up a sales order by order number and deletes it: the order itself is soft-deleted (no longer returned), but its line items and costs are permanently removed.

Linked stock transactions are NOT auto-reversed — delete them separately via `/v1/transactions/{tx_id}` if you need to restore inventory. Whitespace is ignored and letters are uppercased.

`DELETE https://rest.boxhero-app.com/v1/sales-orders/by-number/{order_number}`

## 인증

- `Authorization` (string, 필수): `Bearer <token>` 형식의 Bearer 인증 헤더입니다. `<token>`에는 [API 토큰](https://www.boxhero.io/docs/ko/developers/api/authentication.md)을 넣습니다.

## 경로 파라미터

- `order_number` (string, 필수): Order number. Whitespace is ignored and letters are uppercased. Use only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores.

## 요청 본문

- `memo` (string, max length 2000)
- `revision` (integer, minimum 0, maximum 9007199254740991): Latest observed revision. Omit to use the current revision.

## 응답

**200** The sales order has been deleted.

**400** Invalid request body, or the team is not in LOCATION mode.

- `id` (string, 필수): Unique exception id (`ex_` followed by 32 lowercase hex chars, no dashes — e.g. `ex_8f5c0c8e0e0a4a3c9b3f4f2c4f6c8d2a`). Quote this in support tickets so we can find the request in our logs.
- `type` (string, 필수): Stable, machine-readable error code (RFC 7807-style URI fragment). Branch your error handling on this, not on `title`.

  가능한 값: `/errors/not-found`, `/errors/invalid-request`, `/errors/invalid-team-mode`, `/errors/tokens/invalid`, `/errors/tokens/required`, `/errors/too-many-requests`, `/errors/core/usage-limit-exceeded`, `/errors/core/forbidden`, `/errors/core/unhandled`, `/errors/unhandled`
- `title` (string, 필수): Human-readable summary of the error, in English.
- `correlationID` (string, 필수): Request correlation id (`rq_` followed by 32 lowercase hex chars, no dashes — e.g. `rq_01abf3...`). Identical to the `X-Correlation-Id` response header. A client-supplied `X-Correlation-Id` request header (at most 128 chars of `A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ : / = -`) is echoed back here and in the response header; a missing or invalid value is silently replaced with a generated `rq_…` id.
- `instance` (string): Pointer to the specific failing resource (e.g. `/items/12345`). Path-only, no `/v1` version prefix. Absent on unknown-path `404` and unexpected `500` responses.
- `code` (string): Sub-reason code surfaced from upstream BoxHero core (on core-mapped 4xx) or from the gateway itself (e.g. `not-available-for-api-token` on 403). Use this for fine-grained branching after dispatching on `type`.
- `errors` (array of object): Field-level error details. Present on request-validation `/errors/invalid-request` (400) responses. Absent on malformed-JSON `400`, `413` body-too-large, and most errors mapped from BoxHero core (which include it only when core supplies an array; this can include `403`). Each entry locates a single failure via JSONPath-like `path` segments and a human-readable `message`.

  - `path` (array of string | number, 필수)
  - `message` (string, 필수)

**401** Missing, invalid, or revoked API token. `/errors/tokens/required` when no Bearer token is sent; `/errors/tokens/invalid` when the token is unknown or revoked (a revoked token may keep working for up to 60 seconds because validation results are cached).

- `id` (string, 필수): Unique exception id (`ex_` followed by 32 lowercase hex chars, no dashes — e.g. `ex_8f5c0c8e0e0a4a3c9b3f4f2c4f6c8d2a`). Quote this in support tickets so we can find the request in our logs.
- `type` (string, 필수): Stable, machine-readable error code (RFC 7807-style URI fragment). Branch your error handling on this, not on `title`.

  가능한 값: `/errors/not-found`, `/errors/invalid-request`, `/errors/invalid-team-mode`, `/errors/tokens/invalid`, `/errors/tokens/required`, `/errors/too-many-requests`, `/errors/core/usage-limit-exceeded`, `/errors/core/forbidden`, `/errors/core/unhandled`, `/errors/unhandled`
- `title` (string, 필수): Human-readable summary of the error, in English.
- `correlationID` (string, 필수): Request correlation id (`rq_` followed by 32 lowercase hex chars, no dashes — e.g. `rq_01abf3...`). Identical to the `X-Correlation-Id` response header. A client-supplied `X-Correlation-Id` request header (at most 128 chars of `A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ : / = -`) is echoed back here and in the response header; a missing or invalid value is silently replaced with a generated `rq_…` id.
- `instance` (string): Pointer to the specific failing resource (e.g. `/items/12345`). Path-only, no `/v1` version prefix. Absent on unknown-path `404` and unexpected `500` responses.
- `code` (string): Sub-reason code surfaced from upstream BoxHero core (on core-mapped 4xx) or from the gateway itself (e.g. `not-available-for-api-token` on 403). Use this for fine-grained branching after dispatching on `type`.
- `errors` (array of object): Field-level error details. Present on request-validation `/errors/invalid-request` (400) responses. Absent on malformed-JSON `400`, `413` body-too-large, and most errors mapped from BoxHero core (which include it only when core supplies an array; this can include `403`). Each entry locates a single failure via JSONPath-like `path` segments and a human-readable `message`.

  - `message` (string, 필수)

**429** Rate limit exceeded. Limits are per team and shared by all of the team's API tokens: 5 requests per second and 300 requests per minute. The `RateLimit` and `X-RateLimit-*` headers reflect the per-minute window; check them and `Retry-After` before retrying.
