`DELETE /purchase_order/` will soon be deprecated. Please use `POST /purchase_order/:po_id/cancel/` to cancel your purchase order As a follow up to our previous post and reiteration: We are changing the way we cancel Purchase Orders in the API. Rather than setting a status for cancelled purchase orders, we will have a `cancelled_date` key serialized on the response. ## What this means: ### Deprecation is coming soon: - You can now see `cancelled_date` in a purchase order response object. - Currently, you will see both `cancelled_date` populated as well as `status=cancelled` on the purchase order from the API response. ### After Deprecation: - On November 1st we will be deprecating the cancelled status on a purchase order response object. - We will still include cancelled purchase orders in the `/purchase_order/count/` endpoint. - You will still be able to filter on cancelled purchase orders. - However, you will not see status=cancelled on a purchase\_order after November 1st. - `POST /purchase_order/:po_id/uncancel/` will restore your PO to its pre-cancelled status, and then you may take action on it as needed. After November 1st on a cancelled PO you will see `cancelled_date` populated with a date and the status of the purchase order before it was cancelled will remain. Again, these changes are an effort to disallow accidental actions to be taken on a cancelled purchase order as well as being able to properly restore a purchase order from a cancelled state to its previous state. You will need to use the new endpoint mentioned above in order to restore a cancelled Purchase Order, much like restoring an Order in the app. [Original Deprecation Update regarding DELETE Purchase Order](https://forums.ordoro.com/t/upcoming-deprecation-and-api-change-delete-purchase-order/784) ---
