Refund Approval Workflow

- Approval can be completed within Mews before funds are returned.
Separate Refund Permission
- Decouple refunds from other billing permissions (rebates, reissues, bill owner changes, etc.).
- Allow customers to grant refund access without exposing unrelated financial actions.
Optional Warning/Confirmation Controls
- Alert users when attempting to refund the full payment amount.
- Require an additional confirmation step for high-value refunds.
Business Impact
