What it does
Create a new return-to-vendor — goods going back to a supplier at your organization.
CREATE an Rtv: ONE ACTIVE OrgVendor (the parent — lean 2; PO-less overstock/recall returns are legal); the optional PO must be SAME-vendor + past-issue; the ship-from LF ACTIVE + the buying org's; per line the (variant × ship-from LF) InventoryItem junction must EXIST + be active (TR-f — an RTV of a variant never stocked at the LF is meaningless) and the expectedCredit currency must match the vendor purchasingCurrency when both exist.
Who may call it

Returns
Rtv Rtv! — A return-to-vendor: goods ship BACK to an enabled vendor for credit. Parent = the OrgVendor. Lifecycle: draft compose (wholesale edits) - approve (authority:approve_rtv, a REAL maker/checker step from birth) - ship fires the FIRST rtv movements (sourceBucket relief at CURRENT WMA, lean 6 — the sell/ symmetry; present stock only, CONFLICT/INSUFFICIENT_STOCK else; resolvedReturnsContactId + the expectedCredit default stamp here) - record_credit closes it (actual!= expected refuses CONFLICT/CREDIT_MISMATCH retryable; acknowledgeVariance is the explicit cure — the variance stays reports-only, no AR/AP). Lines are EMBEDDED (max 24 — the 3N+1<=100 ship ceiling held, -m), each shipping from on_hand / damaged / held (the -mutable trio); cancel is pre-ship ONLY; credited is the immutable NON-doomed close; cancelled is the ONE doomed terminal (lists filter it).
