Close contract quantities with clarity and confidence.
Reconcile contracted, nominated, dispatched, shipped, invoiced, short, excess, and balance quantities before closing the trade commitment.
What Makes Quantity Closure Trustworthy
Contracted Quantity
Capture the original agreed quantity, tolerance range, unit of measure, commodity, buyer, seller, and contract reference.
The shipments are completed. The contract balance is still open.
Contract and shipment quantities differ
The quantity agreed in the contract may not match the final shipped, invoiced, accepted, or documented quantity.
Multiple shipments create complexity
One contract may be fulfilled through many nominations, dispatches, containers, or BLs, making final quantity tracking harder.
Balance quantity is not clear
Teams may not know whether the remaining quantity is pending, cancelled, carried forward, short closed, or still expected.
Tolerance is handled manually
Allowed variation may be checked in spreadsheets or email notes instead of a structured closure record.
Closure approval is delayed
Commercial, operations, finance, and customer teams may all need to confirm before quantity can be closed.
A contract is not closed until quantity is settled.
In trade execution, every contract carries a quantity commitment. That quantity may move across multiple nominations, shipments, containers, dispatches, invoices, and document sets. Quantity Closure helps teams confirm how much was executed, how much remains, what variation is acceptable, and whether the balance should be carried forward, short closed, or settled.
Contract quantity needs final reconciliation
Executed quantity must be checked against contract quantity, shipment records, invoice quantity, and accepted buyer quantity.
Tolerances need control
Many commodity and trade contracts allow quantity tolerance, but teams need a clear record of how tolerance was used.
Closure decisions need approval
Short shipment, excess shipment, partial execution, or balance cancellation should not be closed without commercial visibility.
Turn contract quantity closure into a controlled knock-off workflow.
CargoClave helps teams reconcile contract quantity with executed shipments, document records, invoices, tolerance rules, balance decisions, and closure approvals.
Quantity Knock-Off View
Compare contracted quantity with nominated, shipped, invoiced, accepted, and remaining quantity in one contract-level view.
Shipment-Level Mapping
Link every shipment, dispatch, BL, invoice, and document set back to the contract quantity it consumes.
Balance Quantity Tracker
Show open quantity, planned quantity, unexecuted quantity, short close quantity, excess quantity, and carried-forward quantity.
Tolerance Check
Help teams review whether final execution is within contractual tolerance or needs commercial approval.
Closure Decision Record
Capture whether the balance is closed, cancelled, adjusted, carried forward, or escalated for approval.
Approval & Audit Trail
Preserve closure remarks, approver details, supporting records, and final quantity closure status.
Quantity closure fails when execution data is not connected to the contract.
Teams close shipments but not contracts
Each shipment may be marked complete, while the contract still shows an unresolved quantity balance.
Executed quantity is calculated manually
Users may pull numbers from invoices, BLs, dispatch records, and spreadsheets to understand contract utilization.
Balance decisions are informal
A remaining quantity may be dropped, carried forward, or ignored without a recorded approval trail.
Units and references do not align
Contract quantity, loading quantity, invoiced quantity, and accepted quantity may use different references or measurement basis.
Finance gets weak closure input
Final billing, receivable review, or margin closure becomes harder when quantity closure is not clearly approved.
Cleaner contract closure.
Fewer quantity disputes.
