# recordRtvCredit

mutation · in the family [Purchasing](/reference/purchasing/)

## What it does

Record the vendor’s credit for a return-to-vendor — the money side of sending goods back.

RECORD the vendor credit (shipped -> credited via the caller_op:record_credit row — the OR-trigger split; the system:vendor_credit twin stays integration-reserved): an actualCredit ≠ the stored expectation (amount OR currency, or NO expectation stored) refuses CONFLICT/CREDIT_MISMATCH (RETRYABLE — re-record the corrected figure); acknowledgeVariance: true is the explicit cure, stamping creditVarianceAcknowledged (the variance stays reports-only — no AR/AP). Requires the doc CURRENT revision (OCC) + the unrestricted capability.

## Who may call it

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `input` | [RecordRtvCreditInput](/types/RecordRtvCreditInput/) `RecordRtvCreditInput!` | yes | No further notes. |
| `revision` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | yes | The revision id you read on the record; the change is refused if an edit landed in the meantime. |
| `reason` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | No further notes. |

## Returns

[Rtv](/types/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).
