Priority Produce, 6 Seedless Watermelons Stripe, invoiced 23 Oct 2025, AUD 840.00 (1037833)
8 INVOICEDWhere it stands
- Where the goods are: no shipment in flight (no booking, departure or arrival held)
- What the customer has been told: nothing yet
- Receivable: invoice 1037833 AUD 840.00 still due, 337 days overdue; the reminder not chased: answered "Ask Steve to bill his cartage first and offset"
- What happens next: On hold: 2 questions only Quenton Carter or James McNamara can answer are open on this trade. It is on the desk regardless; the questions are under "What is waiting, and on whom".. It is being finished by hand, off the desk; nothing is sent on it from here. The folder still needs a purchase order, a commercial invoice and a packing list.

Documents

This trade cannot show a purchase order, a commercial invoice and a packing list to anybody who asks for them. That is not a stage it has failed to reach: it is a paper it cannot produce. Owner: James McNamara.
Every document on this trade, each time it was issued, what it prints and who holds it, is on the timeline below under documents. This section answers only whether the trade can show its papers, which is a different question from when each one was made.
0 files sit in this trade's folder, of which 0 files are typed as a document and 0 files could not be typed from what they print.
Dates
Its calendar
A cut-off is not on this record: there is no column for one on the shipment or the trade, so none can appear here however many are in the forwarder's mail.
What is waiting
What is waiting, and on whom
5 things are missing, behind 5 open items: the same missing fact is filed once for each document it stops, so the rows below are the facts and the counts are the consequences. An age is how long the ITEM has been on the record, not how long the thing it describes has been true.
| what is missing | what it stops | who settles it |
|---|---|---|
| To be done | Record the invoiced stage using the 23 Oct 2025 commercial-invoice email and the Xero AUTHORISED invoice (1037833). | Obsidian Advisory open 15 days no by-when set |
| Not held | Lodge overdue claim with credit insurer | james open 6 hours by 9 Oct 2026 |
| growers unrecorded | No grower bill is on the record for the trades listed: for each, who supplied the fruit and at what buy price, so the bill can be matched or raised? | Quenton Carter open 15 days no by-when set |

Chase it in full, or net it against the tossing and cartage they have done for us unbilled since February 2025? Is the trade a firm sale or a consignment awaiting Steve's return?

Freight
The freight
The estimate
Cost so far held in more than one currency; not held: international freight, produce.
Not in this estimate: DAFF inspection fees and any other DAFF charge billed to Carter and Associates direct are not in this estimate, and no DAFF permit or tonnage is priced in it either.
The card this estimate was struck from is not named on it.
No shipment is recorded on this trade.
Freight cost not known: no forwarder bill is linked to this trade in our copy of Xero, and none is in its folder. The rate card is a list rate and is a quoting figure, never a cost. Liam Fraser can supply the invoice. Owner: James McNamara.
No departure or arrival date, carrier, vessel or weight is recorded on this shipment yet: each is read off the forwarder's own document, and prints as a gap until then.

All eleven steps
The eleven stages
A stage is not a column anybody writes. It is a projection over the evidence, rebuilt from it every time, so nothing here was asserted by a code path that happened to run. Where a trade sits is the highest of the first seven; what it owes is the last four, and a trade can be invoiced and on the water at once. This trade is at INVOICED.
| stage | state, and what the evidence says | evidence |
|---|---|---|
| QUOTE needs our word |
not reached no priced offer is carried on this trade yet. The 710 quotes priced since 1 May 2026 are deliberately not seeded: 313 of those quotes carry no freight figure at all and the fan-out multiplies a foreign price by the exchange rate twice, so loading them would put figures on the record that nobody can acquit. That decision is recorded here rather than left silent. |

This table answers which of the eleven are evidenced and which are not. WHEN each one moved, and on what, is on the timeline below under changes. A date there is the date the EVIDENCE carries, which is not always the date the thing happened: a container that arrived on Monday and was reported on Thursday is dated Thursday.
What disagrees with the old record
Nothing the old record says about this trade disagrees with the evidence this record holds.
Messages
What has happened, in one order
Everything the record holds on this trade — what was said, what was produced, what moved, what was paid, what was pressed and what was asked — on one line each, newest first, in Sydney time. It is one list and not seven, because a trader asking what happened on Tuesday should not have to read seven.
Showing payments only. Show everything.
Nothing of that kind is on this trade.
3 lines carry no time at all and sit at the end.

Nothing after those times is on this timeline, whether or not it happened. A press is recorded before anything it would change, so a refusal and a failure leave the same trail as a success.

What is owed while a trade sits here: the grower's supply confirmation or a trader's attestation of a verbal one, and the allocation cross-check. Late here means: a purchase order or a booking is about to leave with supply unconfirmed.

What takes it forward
TRADE OPENED is reached by pressing one of its own acts, and PAID IN is reached by pressing one of its own acts. A press before its evidence exists comes back asking for the evidence; it is never an error and never drops what was typed.
Move it on
It is at ORDER. The estate moves a card itself when the evidence lands; moving it by hand asks what shows it, and the trade's own messages and documents are the taps.
Only stages ahead of this one. A card that has gone forward wrongly is put right with “correct a fact”, which writes the old value, the new one, who and when; walking a trade backwards through the stages would leave the record saying it happened twice.
