# evidence.inboxSearch.cancel

Stop an inbox search with id and idempotencyKey. Purchases not yet searched are cancelled, and no further inbox is read; one being read finishes and copies nothing more. Only the member who started it or an administrator can stop it.

Permissions: `accounting:read`, `accounting:write` · Roles: admin, finance, contributor · Idempotency key required

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string (ID) | Yes | The record's ID. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
