When a consignment has been completed, the next step is to update it's status to Closed.
Closed consignments drop off the consignment index view and is where consignment charges are finalised. Closing the consignment will raise transactions for the Client Partner which can be added to schedules for invoicing.
If you have yet to calculate charges for the consignment, Consignly may prompt you. If there are no charges required for this consignment, you can check the box to indicate this and continue to close the consignment.

If charges haven't yet been raised, Consignly offers the opportunity to calculate the charges from this screen, and then continue to close the consignment.

Auto-calculate charges on close
If the Client Partner's financial settings default the auto-calculate charges on consignment close to on, then the Charges card at the top of the blade will show this switched on.
Toggle the switch to turn the auto-calculate feature on and off.
If the switch is turned on, then when the consignment is moved into a closed status, the consignment charges will be automatically calculated without the user having to calculate them intentionally.
