The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.
Start with 10. Apply +4 then -1. Ignore the cancelled +7.
The known entries leave 13. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 18?
5
Known stock: 10 + 4 - 1 = 13. Closing stock 18 minus 13 gives the missing return 5. Cancelled +7 never arrived.
No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.
Ren cannot have two items, so Ren must have Tools.
Cross Tools off for the other two people. Apply the last NOT rule, then find Bo's item.
8
Ali has Seeds; Ren has Tools; Bo has Food. Bo's item gives 8.
The printed cards are deliberately out of order.
Scan cargo must come first. Work out which action comes directly after it.
The first two actions are Scan cargo, then Weigh crate. Finish the chain and read position 3.

The only order is Scan cargo > Weigh crate > Open dock > Unload box. Position 3 carries 6.
Loose units are not parcels. Every parcel has equal weight.
Remove 4 loose units from 19. That leaves 15 for the equal parcels.
Share 15 equally among 3 parcels. Substitute one parcel's weight into the second rule.
5
Remove 4 from 19; share 15 among 3 parcels to get 5. Check 2 x 5 + 3 = 13.
Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.
The first coordinate C3 means column C, row 3. Its letter is D.
Begin with D, then read D1, A3, B1 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.
8
C3, D1, A3, B1 reads DOCK. The conversion table gives 8.
Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.
E2 is read first; it holds Slot.
Read slots E2, B2, C2, A2, D2. Copy every stored digit in that order, including zero.
88655
E2 > B2 > C2 > A2 > D2
