Bill payments

Delete bill payment

The Delete bill payment endpoint allows you to delete a specified bill payment from an accounting software.

Bill payments are an allocation of money within any customer accounts payable account.

Process

  1. Pass the {billPaymentId} to the Delete bill payment endpoint and store the pushOperationKey returned.

  2. Check the status of the delete operation by checking the status of the push operation either via

    1. Push operation webhook (advised),
    2. Push operation status endpoint.

    A Success status indicates that the bill payment object was deleted from the accounting software.

  3. (Optional) Check that the bill payment was deleted from the accounting software.

Effect on related objects

Be aware that deleting a bill payment from an accounting software might cause related objects to be modified.
