## ⚠️ Common Issues

### Issue 1: Profit Calculation Complexity
**Problem**: Complex profit recalculations when returns affect inventory costs  
**Cause**: Multiple inventory evaluation methods and discount allocations  
**Fix**: Proper handling in `quickProfitRow()` function  
**Line**: 2117

### Issue 2: Serial Number Management
**Problem**: Tracking serial numbers across returns and re-sales  
**Cause**: Complex barcode and serial number relationships  
**Fix**: Comprehensive serial tracking in `decreaseProductParcodeSerialQuantity()`  
**Line**: 2800

### Issue 3: Multi-Currency Returns
**Problem**: Exchange rate fluctuations affecting return amounts  
**Cause**: Currency conversion complexity  
**Fix**: Proper exchange rate handling and currency table updates

### Issue 4: Ajax DataTables Performance
**Problem**: Large datasets causing slow page loads  
**Cause**: Unoptimized database queries  
**Fix**: Proper indexing and query optimization in `showallajax()`
