What this page is for
This page shows one supplier return in full: the goods receipt it came from, the store, the reason, who recorded it and when, each line's quantity and value, and the total value claimed.
A return is a claim: the goods have already left stock, but what the supplier owes back does not change until a credit note is recorded against it.
Everyone whose role can view purchasing sees this page. Recording a credit note against it needs a role that can pay.
