Held for Reconciliation - This will be a consignment that has been flagged as requiring human input in order to reach a status of reconciled. 

Held for Invoicing -This will be a consignment that will have been flagged with requiring human input in order to be shown on the generate invoices page. 

Closed
 - This is a consignment that has been deemed to never be reconciled or invoiced within MachShip.

Externally Invoiced - This is a consignment that has been deemed as being invoiced by a system that is external to MachShip.

Invoice Pre-Authorised -  These are consignments that have been flagged as being pre-authorized to be invoiced before reaching a status of reconciled. This flag enables a user to easily filter these consignments when generating invoices.
