Delete a draft transport document

Delete a transport document that is still in draft, together with its shipments.

It consumes no number and leaves no file.
An issued document is always kept: deleting it returns 422 transport_document_cannot_be_deleted.
Returns 204.

Client-generated opaque key (up to 255 characters; UUID v7 recommended) that makes retries safe: the first response is cached and replayed for repeats without re-executing the mutation. Reusing a key with a different body returns 409 idempotency_key_reused. See the Idempotency guide.

Length1 <= length <= 255

Factuarea-Version?string

Pin the API version (YYYY-MM-DD, Stripe-style date versioning) for this request; omit to use the key's pinned version, or the latest if none. Unsupported version → 400 unsupported_api_version; malformed → 400 parameter_invalid_format. The effective version is echoed in the Factuarea-Version response header. See the Versioning guide.

Formatdate

X-Active-Profile?string

Operate on behalf of a child company (gestoría master key): pass its public id (UUID v7) and the request runs against that child's data without changing the key's scope, tier or environment (omit to use the key's own company). Invalid UUID → 400 parameter_invalid_uuid; unknown or non-owned id → 404 profile_not_found. See the Acting on behalf guide.
