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
Nothing is made in Xero until James or Quenton chooses to make it, and each one made goes to Obsidian as a draft note.

What this trade made
GP not stated on the cost stack, current (an estimate on the rate sheet, not struck on a bill): the international freight and the produce (no buy price is on the record) are not priced yet, so a gross profit would be most of the sell; it is stated once they are on the stack.
No result has been struck for this trade yet. 7 cost lines are held against its cost stack so far. The desk strikes one itself once every cost is billed; nobody needs to do anything for it.
Documents
The documents
The three a trade must be able to show
| document | is it in the folder |
|---|---|
| purchase order | nothing in this folder is named as one |
| commercial invoice | nothing in this folder is named as one |
| packing list | nothing in this folder is named as one |
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.

Freight
The freight
Cost stack, current (struck 15 Oct 2026, the rate sheet it was struck on is not named on it)
Cost so far AUD 24.00; not held: freight (no gross weight a unit is held until the grower and the pack are named), produce (no grower is named, so no buy price).
- Market requirements (labels, certificates, permits): None required (none required beyond plant health: no label, certificate of origin or import permit of ours): AUD 0.00
- Phytosanitary certificate, not required for entry (MICoR): AUD 0.00
- DAFF permit 1 consignment at AUD 24.00 per consignment: AUD 24.00
Not in this estimate: DAFF inspection fees and any other DAFF charge billed to Carter and Associates direct are not in this estimate; the DAFF permit is in it, priced above; daff tonnage.
The rate sheet 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.

Actions on this trade
James McNamara, general manager, signed in on your own link. Everything you do below is recorded under this name. Nobody can act as somebody else: no link is shared and nothing in the address bar says who you are.
At TRADE OPENED
What is owed while a trade sits here: grower acknowledgement with a ready date, customer acknowledgement, preliminary invoice and packing list delivered, booking request with the forwarder, sales invoice in the ledger with one due date per instalment. Overdue here when: any of the five is past its by-when.
Send
Nothing on this trade has been issued by this desk yet, so there is nothing to send from here. Use "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 through one of its own buttons below, and INVOICED is reached through one of its own buttons below. A button used before its evidence is held asks for the evidence, and nothing typed is lost.
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.
At any stage
Change, claim or end this trade
Amend the trade: the quantity, a price, the product, the booking, the customer or the grower, with what it touches said before you confirm. Cancel the trade: the reason, and the unwinding still to do said before you confirm. Raise a claim: against the customer, the grower or the forwarder, with the amount. Record a credit note: the amount and why; it produces the paper and sends nothing. Each asks one thing at a time, and an amendment or a cancellation says what it touches and waits for your confirm before anything changes.
