Metcash Trading: version 3
Saved 2026-09-23 18:20 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled the absence_prose flag: removed 'No source naming the licensee turned up' and the rest of the same kind from About (the web-search sentence, 'GLEIF and the ABR record no prefixes', the spec 'without stating its own' clause, the 'caution for a later pass' framing, and the speculative 'contributor's slip' remark); the prefix-block basis for gs1_prefixes_inferred 9310246 is kept as sourced counts. Re-read ABR, ABR history, GLEIF record and direct parent on 2026-09-23 and corrected an error: the ABN has been active since 23 Feb 2000 (the old text gave 23 Oct 2000, which is the trading-name date). Added Identity summary and registered_address (1 Thomas Holt Drive, Macquarie Park NSW 2113, per GLEIF). Added References row 'gleif' (the LEI record itself); refreshed accessed dates on gleifparent, abr, abrhist, metcashspec. Trimmed the owned_by note. Parent company/metcash already carries no_corporate_parent, so the walk up is complete. Gap left open: no fetched source names the licensee of prefix 9310246, so it stays inferred.. This is the current version.
