The ledger
Nothing in the ledger is linked to this trade. A ledger document with no link is a gap owned by Obsidian Advisory, not a guess.
Invoiced not stated, and the ledger carries nothing outstanding against it. Billed to us not stated, and the ledger carries nothing outstanding against it.
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.

What this trade made
No result has been struck for this trade yet. 3 cost lines are held against its cost stack so far. The desk strikes one for itself once the actual cost stack is complete — nothing here waits on a person to press it.
Documents
The documents
The three a trade must be able to show
| document | is it in the folder |
|---|---|
| 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.
9 files sit in this trade's folder, of which 6 files are typed as a document and 3 files could not be typed from what they print.
Dates
Its calendar
No dated event on this trade at all. No departure, no arrival, no due date and nothing owed by a date. A trade with no date on it is a trade nothing can chase.
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| To be done | Archive the drafted the trade commercial invoice, packing list and purchase order (, docx and pdf) as superseded — none was sent to any counterparty (1038325). | Obsidian Advisory open 15 days no by-when set |
| obsidian cover notes mislinked | Detach the four generic Obsidian AP/AR daily-report cover notes (9, 18, 21, 22 Sep 2026) from the trade — none names a trade in its body (1038325). | Obsidian Advisory open 15 days no by-when set |
| the customer | The customer is not evidenced outside the old book (1038325) | James McNamara open 16 days no by-when set |
| Not held | Why was credit note CN-1038325 raised? | James McNamara open 9 days no by-when set |
| grower connect confirm | Grower Connect (Phil): has he confirmed he supplied the 190 trays at AUD 25.50 (AUD 4,845.00)? Nothing is in writing and our purchase order has not reached him, was he told the trade was cancelled, and are levies on INV-45153 paid by him or by us? (1038332, 1038325) | Quenton Carter open 15 days no by-when set |
Freight
The freight
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 TRADE OPENED.
| 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. |
no evidence |
| TRADE OPENED needs our word |
reached dated not stated, on a document |
2 pieces of evidence. Each move is a line on the timeline below. |
| BOOKED needs counterparty word |
not reached nothing on this trade evidences it yet. |
no evidence |
| DEPARTED needs document |
not reached nothing on this trade evidences it yet. |
no evidence |
| 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 not stated, 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 ledger invoice is the half that is missing. Owner: Obsidian Advisory. |
2 pieces of evidence. Each move is a line on the timeline below. |
| PAID IN needs document |
not reached nothing on this trade evidences it yet. |
no evidence |
| PAID OUT needs document |
not reached nothing on this trade evidences it yet. |
no evidence |
| RECONCILED needs document |
not reached the cost stack has not been built yet, so there is nothing to strike a result against |
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.
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 claims only. Show everything.
Nothing of that kind is on this trade.

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.

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.
What takes it forward
BOOKED 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.
Move it on
It is at TRADE OPENED. 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.
