  - NON-GST-PURCHASE-RETURN (PNGSTR)
  - IMPORT-PURCHASE-RETURN (PIMPR)

- **Updated ENUM columns:**
  - `tblpurchase_type_config.PurchaseType`
  - `tblpurchases.PurchaseType`

### 2. Backend PHP Files Modified ✅

#### `Purchase/api/save-purchase.php`
- Added return detection: `$isReturn = (strpos($purchaseType, '-PURCHASE-RETURN') !== false);`
- Modified stock operations (returns DECREASE stock)
- Modified supplier account operations (returns create DEBIT entries)
- Modified balance calculations (returns DECREASE supplier balance)
- Updated payment handling for returns

#### `Purchase/api/delete-purchase.php`
- Added return detection
- Modified stock reversal (delete return = INCREASE stock)
- Modified balance adjustment (delete return = INCREASE balance)

### 3. Frontend JavaScript Modified ✅

#### `Purchase/js/sales.js`
- Added `purchaseType` to purchase data sent to backend

#### `Purchase/index.php`
- Added `purchaseTypeCategory` hidden field
- Added change event handler for purchase type dropdown
- Added visual indicators (yellow background) for return types

## How It Works

### Stock Management
| Operation | Regular Purchase | Purchase Return |
|-----------|-----------------|-----------------|
| Create | Stock ↑ (IN) | Stock ↓ (OUT) |
| Edit | Reverse old, Apply new | Reverse old, Apply new |
| Delete | Stock ↓ (reverse) | Stock ↑ (reverse) |

### Supplier Accounts
| Operation | Regular Purchase | Purchase Return |
|-----------|-----------------|-----------------|
| Create | Credit (we owe) | Debit (they owe us) |
| Account Effect | Balance ↑ | Balance ↓ |
| Payment | Debit (we paid) | Credit (they paid us) |

## Key Differences: Sales vs Purchase Returns

| Aspect | Sales Return | Purchase Return |
|--------|--------------|-----------------|
| **Stock Effect** | Increase (+) | Decrease (-) |
| **Account Entry** | Credit Customer | Debit Supplier |
| **Balance Impact** | Decrease | Decrease |
| **Money Flow** | We refund | Supplier refunds |
| **Invoice Prefix** | GSTR/NGSTR/ONLR | PGSTR/PNGSTR/PIMPR |

## Invoice Numbering

All return types use the same financial year format:
- `PGSTR/2025-26/0001` - GST Purchase Return
- `PNGSTR/2025-26/0001` - Non-GST Purchase Return
- `PIMPR/2025-26/0001` - Import Purchase Return

## Testing Recommendations

1. **Create Purchase Return**
   - Select return type from dropdown
   - Verify yellow background appears
   - Add items and save
   - Check stock DECREASED
   - Check supplier balance DECREASED
   - Verify invoice has correct prefix

2. **Edit Purchase Return**
   - Load existing return via Previous/Next
   - Modify quantities
   - Verify stock adjustments are correct
   - Verify balance updates properly

3. **Delete Purchase Return**
   - Delete a return transaction
   - Verify stock INCREASED (reversed)
   - Verify supplier balance INCREASED (debit removed)

4. **Mixed Scenarios**
   - Edit regular purchase to return type
   - Edit return to regular purchase
   - Handle supplier with mixed transactions

## Documentation Files Created

1. **PURCHASE_RETURN_IMPLEMENTATION.md** - Complete technical guide
2. **QUICK_REFERENCE.md** - Quick lookup card for operations

## Database Backup Command

Before testing in production:
```bash
cd C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql8.0.21\bin
.\mysqldump.exe -u root uzrs-inventorydb > backup_before_purchase_returns_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
```

## Important Notes

⚠️ **Stock Direction (Opposite of Sales)**
- Purchase = Stock IN (+)
- Purchase Return = Stock OUT (-)

⚠️ **Supplier Accounts**
- Purchase = Credit (we owe them)
- Return = Debit (they owe us / we get credit)

⚠️ **Balance Interpretation**
- Positive Balance = We owe supplier
- Negative Balance = Supplier owes us / we have credit
