Before you start

Use an account with purchase_order_return capability and confirm the intended record or setting before making a change.
Follow the exact route above. If the screen or action is absent, check module activation, ownership and permissions rather than using another person’s account.
Use controlled test data for configuration, integration, email, AI, payment, portal or automation changes before production-wide use.
