Freco International Company, 577 Hass Class 1 Mixed counts to HKG, flew 14 Aug 2026, AUD 7,039.40 (1038314)
9 PAID INWhere it stands
- Where the goods are: in transit (flew, taken from the ETD held; no word that it left), since 14 Aug 2026 06:00 AEST (the ETD held, Fri 14 Aug)
- What the customer has been told: they book their own freight, so the journey updates are theirs; not yet told it left
- Receivable: nothing; the invoice is paid
- 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.
- Not certain: That it left is taken from the ETD held; no word from the forwarder or the carrier says so.
- Not certain: It left 56 days ago and nothing later is held: where the goods are now is not known. A departure note now would be stale news; the forwarder is asked for the position first.

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

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. The bill checker could not price it on the card: the record does not hold the gross weight (looked for on the shipment row, the shipped lines, the waybill, packing list and commercial invoice as printed, the weigh sheets, our own commercial invoice and packing list as sent, the trade's lines), and the bill charges by the kilogram

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.
78 files sit in this trade's folder, of which 21 files are typed as a document and 22 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.

4 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.

| Two sources disagree | costed against billed: International Freight | James McNamara open 12 days no by-when set |
| Not held | The assistant did not answer a question on this trade: could not answer | James McNamara open 15 days by 24 Sep 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 |
| vision freight | 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). | James McNamara open 15 days no by-when set |

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. |

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.

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 PAID OUT 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.
