This feature is available for the Customer Service Portal (B2B) for product and order cases and for the Consumer Service Portal (B2C).

The

   When a case is closed from the portal:
   * The case status in the Case details section is updated to Closed.  
     Note:

   * The case additional comments and resolution notes are updated with Closed by customer.
   * The case resolution code is set to Solved by customer
   * A message at the top of the portal confirms that the case has been closed.
