It is also sometimes used as a remonstrative statement like a mother saying to a child who is speaking rudely, "That'll do".
It means that the child should stop speaking like that.

That'll do is short for That will do.
It means...
1. that's enough
2. sounds good to me
3. yes
and others. It depends on the context.
