An inert placeholder for a purchase return header. It is not a working return document. Apart from the base record fields it stores only a name and a label, with no supplier, company, branch, bill, item, quantity or amount. It is in no app, has no form or list, and no screen, action, job or service creates, reads or updates it. Its only structural use is as the target of the Purchase Return lookup on a claim, and that lookup is on no shipped claim form. Goods returned to a supplier are recorded as a credit note with Transaction Type BillReturn, which reduces the supplier's payable, reverses the purchase account and input tax, is applied to the bill it names, updates the returned quantity on the bill, purchase order and goods receipt lines, and is reported in GSTR-2B. Leave this entity unused.
