Vision International's bills against the rate card
Nothing is billed above the card. Billed below the card: AUD 432.15, in our favour. Billed on charges the card carries no rate for: AUD 881.50, not compared.
- Bill 00241787: nothing over the card, AUD 432.15 under it.
International Freight, 2 PMC (8,664 kg): billed AUD 9,098.25; the card gives AUD 9,530.40. Recorded only: an undercharge is never raised.
Fuel surcharge (air) / bunker adjustment factor (sea) is billed AUD 866.50 (line 2 "Fuel Surcharge") and the card in force carries no rate for it, so it is recorded and not compared.
Electronic processing fee is billed AUD 15.00 (line 9 "Electronic Processing Fee") and the card in force carries no rate for it, so it is recorded and not compared.
This is no sell: no revenue can be struck: no revenue is held on the record at all.
After the trade: quoted against billed
Forwarder charges: quoted AUD 12,024.76, billed AUD 12,474.35, AUD 449.59 more than quoted (3.6% of the bill).
The desk holds no stack from before the shipment. The quote here is what the pricer would have quoted: the Vision rate card in force on the departure day, priced after the event. Source: the bill checker's pricing of Vision bill 00241787 on the card in force on the departure day (BNE to HKG by air, Cathay Pacific (CX) PMC). Forwarder charges ex GST: the Vision rate card in force on the departure day (what the pricer would have quoted) against the Vision bills. Produce is compared on its own line. Gap is actual less quoted. The trade is open, with its bills in.

| purchase order | 2 files in the folder are named as one |
| commercial invoice | 2 files in the folder are named as one |
| packing list | 2 files in the folder are named as one |
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.
64 files sit in this trade's folder, of which 11 files are typed as a document and 32 files could not be typed from what they print.
Dates

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.

4 messages came in on this trade with nothing going out after them. The oldest is email on 9 Sep 2026 18:13 AEST, 29 days ago: AP/AR Report 09/09/2026. The last thing that went out from us on this trade was 9 Sep 2026 13:44 AEST.
6 things are missing, behind 7 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.

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 DEPARTED.
| 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.

It is one list and not seven, because a trader asking what happened on Tuesday should not have to read seven.

a question James McNamara
Who is the buyer of record — PRIME ORCHARDS (CHINA) LIMITED, PRIME ORCHARDS LIMITED of 490-492 Nathan Road Kowloon, or KAM KEE INTERNATIONAL LTD? (1038301)
Answered from the records. Raised by the agents' review, run.
Answered 24 Sep 2026 07:12 AEST: PRIME ORCHARDS LIMITED, 490-492 Nathan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong is the buyer of record. The waybill landed reading KAM KEE INTERNATIONAL LTD (a stale customer code, Carter's own error); the desk's first correction named "PRIME ORCHARDS (CHINA) LIMITED"; three minutes later that was explicitly superseded: "PRIME ORCHARDS LIMITED, 490-492 Nathan Road, Kowloon (not 'Prime Orchards (China) Limited', not KAM KEE INTERNATIONAL LTD)", and Kam Lau at Prime Orchards confirmed. No Xero contact currently exists under any of these three names. [Gmail Fri 7 Aug, 20:43 (amend to PRIME ORCHARDS (CHINA) LIMITED) superseded by Gmail Fri 7 Aug, 20:46 ("160-13159171 consignee - EXACT details for the amendment, supersedes my last": PRIME ORCHARDS LIMITED, 490-492 Nathan Road, Kowloon)].
a question James McNamara
What is the sell price for the 1,520 cartons (1,207 size 23 + 313 size 20, the 20s a substitution), one price or two? And did Prime Orchards Limited collect them and stand as the customer? (the trade, the 749-tray order for Prime Orchards, is recorded lost: nothing shows it flew, and its only waybill carried Total Fresh's cargo.) (1038301, 1038310, 1038302)
Amount in question: AUD 0.00 (1,520 trays unpriced; the comparable Prime Orchards consignment on 618-55465373 was priced at AUD 21.00/tray (Gmail Fri 7 Aug, 19:45), but no instruction applies that or any other rate to 1038301). The review asked: "Quenton: what is the sell price for the 1,520 cartons, and is it one price or separate prices for the 1,207 x 23ct and the 313 x 20ct?". Raised by the agents' review, run.
Still open. Nothing has come back on this.
a question James McNamara
Vision freight: pay the unpaid Vision bills on the trades listed now, or hold them against the AUD 4,941.60 billing-error credit request (1.00/kg vs card, fuel twice, screening)? And allocate the shared bills: AUD 12,474.35 (the trade or the trade) and the two-ULD freight shared by the trade and the trade (1038301, 1038302, 1038294, 1038304).
Amount in question: AUD 4,941.60 (Vision credit request; bills listed in the detail). The same question stands on 1038126, 1038294, 1038302, 1038304, 1038312, 1038314. The review asked: "Does the Vision freight invoice filed as Vision_International_Forwarding_2026-08-26_12474.35.PDF belong to 1038301, to 1038302, or is it to be split?". Raised by the agents' review, run.
Still open. Nothing has come back on this.
a question Quenton Carter
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?
No amount turns on it alone. The same question stands on 1037833, 1037928, 1038069, 1038104, 1038135, 1038140, 1038158, 1038292, 1038294, 1038303, 1038304, 1038307, 1038309, 1038310, 1038312, 1038314, 1038316. The review asked: "Which grower supplied this fill (the manifest names only 'Steve'), and should the purchase order held in the folder be taken onto the record?". Raised by the agents' review, run.
Still open. Nothing has come back on this.

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.
