This action is irreversible. The invoice record, its parsed details, and the source HTML file in S3 are all permanently deleted.

Authentication

All requests to this endpoint must include a valid JWT in the Authorization header.

Authorization: Bearer <token>

Path parameters

invoice_id · string · required

The unique identifier of the retail invoice to delete.

What gets deleted

Deleting a retail invoice removes the following:

• The invoice record from the RetailInvoices DynamoDB table.
• The invoice’s parsed detail record from the corresponding category detail table (e.g., FoodDeliveryInvoices, ClothingInvoices, TechnologyInvoices, SubscriptionInvoices, GroceryInvoices, MiscUtilityInvoices, MiscInvoices, TravelInvoices).
• The raw HTML invoice file from S3.

Ownership is validated before deletion — you can only delete invoices that belong to the authenticated user.
