# Reversing a Withdrawal

Reverse a cash withdrawal.

Rapyd makes it easy for you to reverse a withdrawal using a point of sale. The POS API provides methods for handling cash at Rapyd [POS](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/glossary.md#UUID-945d98cf-adae-e1cf-2606-c7fae8b4a7e1_pos "Point of Sale") locations, such as ATMs and retail stores.

In this use case, a 10 GBP (Pound Sterling) is returned to the customer's [eWallet](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/glossary.md#UUID-945d98cf-adae-e1cf-2606-c7fae8b4a7e1_ewallet "eWallet") after a withdrawal request for 10 GBP (Pound Sterling) did not succeed due to technical reasons.

## Reverse a Withdrawal Workflow

Let’s look at the highlights of your workflow.

1. You create a reverse withdrawal request with the field values that you received in the ‘open session’ request that you used when attempting to withdraw from the GBP account in customer eWallet.
2. Rapyd executes the reverse withdrawal.
3. 10 GBP (Pound Sterling) is added to the GBP account of customer eWallet.

## Implementing the Workflow

Let's take a quick look at how you'll use Rapyd's API to implement the workflow.

To reverse a withdrawal:

### Reverse Withdrawal Request

You ask Rapyd to reverse a withdrawal.

- - Request

    - ```
      // Request URL: POST https://sandboxapi.rapyd.net/v1/pos/reversal/64e4a964-53b5-11e9-8495-02f0df928bc0/10

      Content-Type: application/json
      access_key: 8C6223151345345D 
      token_id: d9b7398f-5c2f-438c-8ac6-68e79f28c02e 
      operation_id: 95e2c071-9513-48d6-a717-a480814f7df8 
      phone_number: +14155559992

      // No message body
      ```

### Reverse Withdrawal Response

Let's take a look at the [Reverse Withdrawal](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/reverse-withdrawal.md "Reverse Withdrawal") response.

- - Response

    - ```
      {
         "status": {
             "error_code": "",
             "status": "SUCCESS",
             "message": "",
             "response_code": "",
             "operation_id": "a83026f5-0731-4bf3-9611-1dd0af639431"
         },
         "data": {
             "transaction_id": "4e61e815-b68f-11e9-9ffc-12c4c8fed768",
             "operation_id": "086128b5-5212-4e3b-8caa-6ecab4a868f3"
         }
      }
      ```

The data section of this response shows that the `transaction_id` is **4e61e815-b68f-11e9-9ffc-12c4c8fed768**. Note that this is the same `transaction_id` used in the withdrawal response of the [Withdrawing Cash](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/withdrawing-cash.md "Withdrawing Cash") use case since both methods were executed for the same **account_id**.
