Delete receipt files from an employee expense (v2)

Removes one or more PDF (or other) receipt attachments from an employee expense and deletes the files from storage (v2 route).

Use it to:

  • Integration replacing a PDF receipt: delete the old URL, then attach the new PDF

Not for:

  • Deleting the whole expense — DELETE /v2/employee-expense/{employeeExpenseID}

Behaviour:

  • Not idempotent.
  • Repeating a successful call fails with 37684.
  • Safe to retry only under a condition. After a lost response, GET the expense: a URL that is gone was deleted.
  • Duplicates: A URL repeated in one call fails on its second occurrence (37684).
  • Changes are visible to the next read immediately.
  • Batch: partial

Call first: GET /v2/employee-expense/{employeeExpenseID}

Next: POST /v2/employee-expense/{employeeExpenseID}/file

Bearer Token
Bearer Tokenstring
Required

OAuth 2.0 bearer token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. JWT and reference tokens are both accepted. The token must carry the required scope (default tlp). The token's sub claim is the acting user. A token WITHOUT sub (client-credentials) acts as the system service user. If the sub user cannot log in (inactive, locked, deleted), the request is rejected with 401 — it is no longer let through without a user. > Not yet documented: how to obtain a token. > Not yet documented: token lifetime.
