`entries.delete`

Delete a transaction from the books with id, expectedRevision, reason (3 to 1000 characters), idempotencyKey and optional choices: bankLines keep (default, the line goes back to Reconcile) or exclude (a manual CSV line leaves the books too), receipts dismiss (default, labelled not a transaction) or keep, and email not_transaction (default, the company email is archived as general mail) or keep. A submitted reimbursement claim is withdrawn, the transaction leaves its trip and open questions close. It is voided, never erased: files, history and audit stay, and entries.restore puts it back. Refused when entries.delete.preview lists a blocker. Finance access required.
