Barakat Vegetables & Fruits Col.L.C, 4,320 Seedless Watermelons 10-12kg Class to DXB, invoiced 21 May 2026, AUD 30,240.00 (1038160)
9 PAID INWhere it stands
- Where the goods are: booked with the carrier, not yet departed (the shipment record)
- What the customer has been told: nothing yet; not yet told the freight was booked
- Receivable: nothing; the invoice is paid
- What happens next: On hold: 1 question only Quenton Carter can answer is 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.

Deposit and release
Release is standard. Our copy of Xero is too old to say what is paid today; payment is chased on its own invoice.
No instalment is recorded on this invoice, so the whole invoice is due before release.
No release has been recorded on this desk for this trade.
Every receipt in, every payment out and every claim is on the timeline below under payments and claims, each with its date, its counterparty and its currency. What is above is the position; what is below is how it got there.

Changes in Xero
Each change is described in plain words. Nothing is made in Xero until James or Quenton presses its button, and each one made is recorded as a draft note for Obsidian.

After the trade: quoted against billed
Not compared. The desk holds no quote stack for this trade (it was quoted before the desk priced quotes, or the stack was never written), so there is no quoted cost to set against the bills. The quote is a document in the trade folder and a quote of record is filed on Drive; its prices are not in the record as cost lines.
This trade is open, with its bills in. Reviewed 9 Oct 2026.

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
2 things are missing, behind 2 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 | Chase or enter a grower bill from Ray Ghloub against the trade if one exists outside Xero; none is currently recorded (1038160). | Obsidian Advisory open 15 days no by-when set |
| growing region | The growing region is unrecorded, or only a city or phyto place of origin, on the trades listed: what region stands for each? (the trade also: Brisbane or Sydney origin, cartons or bins? the trade: the accredited orchard and AA number for Korea.) (1038159, 1038317) | Quenton Carter open 15 days no by-when set |
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.
| mode and carrier | document | dates | weights |
|---|---|---|---|
| air carrier not recorded, EK413 |

Freight cost from the forwarder's bill in our copy of Xero: Vision International bill 00238793, AUD 276,458.52 (shared with another trade).
The dates, carrier, vessel and weights above are as recorded on the shipment; where one is missing, it prints as a gap and the forwarder's own document settles it.

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 PAID IN.
| 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. |
no evidence |
| ORDER needs our word |
not reached not evidenced, and the trade is past it. This is a hole. |

| ARRIVED needs counterparty word |
not reached nothing on this trade evidences it yet. |
no evidence |
| DELIVERED needs our word |
not reached the proving document is not defined. James to state it. Until he states it, the only route is a trader recording delivery against one of four labelled proofs, and which one was used is stored. |
no evidence |
| INVOICED needs document |
part dated 21 May 2026, on a document. This stage needs BOTH the commercial invoice as a document on the trade AND a matching sales invoice in the ledger. The invoice document on the trade is the half that is missing. Owner: Obsidian Advisory. |
1 piece of evidence. Each move is a line on the timeline below. |
| PAID IN needs document |
reached dated 10 Jul 2026, with no grade recorded |
no evidence |
| PAID OUT needs document |
part dated not stated, with no grade recorded. Part settled: what was invoiced and what has been received both print below. |

| RECONCILED needs document |

no evidence |
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.

The acts
James McNamara, general manager, signed in on your own link. Every press below is recorded against this name. There is no way to press as somebody else, because there is no shared token and nothing in the address bar says who you are.
At DEPARTED
What is owed while a trade sits here: the final invoice and packing list regenerated on the transport document and the certified weights, the forwarder holding them, the customer holding the final invoice and the pre-alert, and every original the destination requires dispatched with its courier and tracking number recorded. Late here means: an original is recorded as having to travel with no courier record.

Send
Nothing on this trade has been issued by this desk yet, so there is nothing to send from here. Press "issue a document" to produce the purchase order, commercial invoice and packing list; each gets a Send. Documents handed over from the old system are on Drive, not on this machine, and are not sent from here.
On hold: the trade shows departed but not booked. Missing: the forwarder's booking confirmation, which the forwarder supplies. Record it with the press below, or settle the disagreement. James McNamara settles it.
What takes it forward
ARRIVED is reached by pressing one of its own acts, and INVOICED 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.
