# Recover Work Order

`POST /service_orders/recover`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://dc-region.zuperpro.com/api`
- URL: `https://dc-region.zuperpro.com/api/service_orders/recover`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Operates on Service Orders, shown in the Zuper client app as "Work Order" (in every industry). Work Orders share the exact same underlying schema and endpoints as Purchase Orders / Material Orders; they're distinguished only by the `purchase_order_type` field (`SERVICE_ORDER` here) and the `/service_orders` route prefix. Restores (undeletes) previously soft-deleted orders. Requires the caller's role to be exactly ADMIN — not just an equivalent permission key — or the request is rejected with 401.

## Request body

- object
  - `purchase_order_uids` string[], required: Non-empty array required.

## Response `200`

200

- object
  - `type` 'success'
  - `title` string

## Changes

  - endpoint added
