How to view a customer's orders in Dumpster Controls

There are two ways to see a customer's order history: the "Orders" tab in their profile drawer, and the inline expansion right on the Customers table.

  1. Option 1: the drawer tab

    Open the customer and click "Orders". You get the same table as Rental History: "Order ID", "Customer", "Contracted", "Expenses", "P&L", "Status", and "Dates". Click any row to expand the full order panel with schedule, payment, photos, and invoice actions. Empty profiles show "No orders yet".

  2. Option 2: expand the row in place

    On the Customers table, click the arrow at the start of a row or the orders pill in the "Orders" column (tooltip: "View orders & consolidate invoices"). The row expands into that customer's order list without leaving the page.

  3. Work inside the expansion

    Each order row expands further for details, and unpaid invoices get checkboxes for consolidation. A bar above the list explains: "Select 2 or more unpaid invoices below to consolidate them into a single payment."

  4. Check the money at a glance

    "Contracted" is what the customer agreed to pay, "Expenses" is your recorded cost, and "P&L" is the difference, so the history doubles as a per-customer profitability view.

What happens next

Troubleshooting

The expansion says "No orders for this customer."

This customer has no orders yet. Orders are attached automatically when they book or when you create an order for them.

An order's checkbox is disabled.

Only invoices in sent or overdue status that are not already inside another consolidated invoice can be selected; the checkbox tooltip shows the reason.
