Void a transaction

The ledger is append-only in spirit: this moves the row to VOIDED and reverses its journal entry rather than removing the record. Its receipt is dropped from storage at the same time, because a voided transaction never shows one again and the company would otherwise keep paying to store a file it cannot reach. Needs `transactions:admin` — it is the ledger’s one irreversible act.

Required scope

The access token must carry this scope. A token missing it gets 403 Forbidden. Grant them to an API client under Settings → Company → API, and to a teammate under Employee → Permissions.
