Possibility to cancel orders.

Use of Service
Cancel API is used to cancel a shipment before the shipment is in transit (has arrived in the value chain). The cancellation applies to all items in a shipment.
The shipment will be defined as in transit from the day before desired delivery date. Shipment without desired delivery date will be in transit immediately after booking.
Shipments that have been canceled cannot be resumed and data about a canceled shipment will not be sent to the carrier.
It is not possible to cancel a shipments in transit with this API, to stop a shipment in transit contact the carrier customer service.
Successful cancellation will set eventlog API key 71.
Since pick-up shipments (C2C/C2B) do not arrive in the value chain before they are actually picked up, more flexibility is available.
Pick-up shipments have a later cut off for cancellation, usually until 23:00 p.m. the day before pick-up. This depends on geography and carrier, contact your carrier for exact details.
Pick-up shipments can also be canceled if the pick-up attempt failed
