# Reverse (unallocate) an allocation peg

> Reverse a single allocation peg created by the Purchase-to-Order workflow (the inverse of
`POST /purchase-orders/{purchaseOrderId}/allocate`), freeing the pegged stock so it reposts as
available against the incoming purchase order / on-hand supply.

The peg is identified by `peg_id` alone — on-hand and pre-order pegs are not tied to a purchase
order, so this is a top-level path rather than a PO-scoped one. Behavior depends on how far the
allocation has progressed:

- **Pure reservation** (nothing released) — the peg is deleted and availability recovers
  automatically.
- **Pre-ship fulfillment** — the generated fulfillment order (or just this line's contribution to
  a consolidated fulfillment order) is unwound, returning the stock, then the peg is deleted.
- **Already shipped** — cannot be reversed here; the request fails with `422` and the allocation
  must instead be reversed through a **Return**. If only part of the allocation shipped, the
  unfulfilled remainder is removed and the shipped portion is retained (`partial: true`).

> **Note:** This endpoint is gated by the `PURCHASE_TO_ORDER` feature flag. Contact Luminous to
> have it enabled for your tenant.
