# cancelMarkdownPlan

mutation · in the family [Pricing](/reference/pricing/)

## What it does

Cancel a markdown plan — scheduled price cuts over time.

CANCEL a MarkdownPlan from draft|scheduled|active: dooms every plan-stamped SalePrice with startAt STRICTLY FUTURE (BY DATE — effective/past windows are PERMANENT price history, skipped, never attempted), then flips → cancelled (OCC; the terminal status disarms the scheduler lane). The step-1 TRIM is NOT restored (no-silent-unwind — schedule a new window to re-price). A fault mid-doom leaves an un-cancelled plan with some doomed records — re-run to complete (a doomed record blocks nothing). Requires the unrestricted capability + the record's CURRENT revision.

## Careful

Cancellation is usually permanent — check what the record has already caused (reservations, payments) before cancelling.

## Returns

[MarkdownPlan](/types/MarkdownPlan/) `MarkdownPlan!` — A MarkdownPlan — the markdown CADENCE: a product scope (the grammar VERBATIM — predicate + inclusions/exclusions + a Collection ref) + ≤ 8 ordered effective-dated steps (percent_off ppm-EXCLUSIVE · amount_off · to_fixed; startAt strictly increasing; the LAST step MAY carry endAt = the clearance-LAPSE arm, absent = the standing far-future window). the write rule: the schedule transition pre-computes the whole price LADDER per targeted InventoryItem (base₀ = the record covering step-1's startAt, then each PRIOR RESULT — half-away rounding, every result > 0) and WRITES EVERY future-dated SalePrice up-front through the existing per-record create (splice-gated, evented, plan/step-stamped; the FIRST window per II TRIMS the covering standing record; caps: ≤ 250 items · ≤ 500 writes). The prices then move by dated-window resolution ALONE — the scheduler fires ONLY the plan's own status flips (scheduled→active at the first step's moment · active→completed after the last; a down sweeper delays ZERO price moves — the flips are observability). The live splice law PROTECTS the cadence (an external overlapping write refuses CONFLICT/PRICE_WINDOW_OVERLAP naming the plan's records). Cancel dooms the not-yet-effective plan-stamped records ONLY (effective windows are permanent price history; the step-1 trim is NOT restored). A markdown MOVES the step-1 base — promotions/loyalty/employee compose on top UNCHANGED. Update is DRAFT-only (amend-after-schedule = cancel + author anew). At most 32 OPEN (draft+scheduled+active) per org group. Org participation is the canned-pool selection (≤ 32; ABSENT = every org); logicalFacilityIds (≤ 32) RESTRICTS within the selected orgs' facilities (ABSENT = all of them). NOT searchable (the document non-joiner stance — this born-paginated list is the discovery read); NO UNIQ marker.
