OrderCancel command

This command cancels the specified order by changing its order status to X, reversing any inventory allocations and canceling any backordered items.

This command does not remove the order from the database. Only orders with Status "A", "B", "C", "I", "L", "M", "N", or "W" can be canceled, since those values indicate that the customer or buying organization has not yet committed to pay for the order.
