How to record general company expenses in Dumpster Controls

Not every expense belongs to one order. The Company Expenses page tracks "General expenses not linked to specific orders": fuel, maintenance, tools, tolls, insurance, office, and other, and feeds them into the dashboard's Expenses number.

1. 1

   Click "Add Expense"

   The "New Company Expense" dialog asks for "Type" (Fuel, Maintenance, Tools, Toll, Insurance, Office, or Other), "Amount", "Date", an optional "Description" and "Vendor", and a "Recurring" toggle for expenses that repeat, like insurance. Click "Save Expense".

2. 2

   Read the KPIs

   Four cards summarize the filtered list: "Total Expenses", "Total Entries", "Biggest Category", and "Recurring Total". Below them, "Category Breakdown" shows each type with its share, count, and amount.

3. 3

   Filter the list

   Use the date presets (7 Days, 30 Days, This Month, All Time) and the type filter ("All Types" or a specific type). The table lists Type, Amount, Date, Description, Vendor, and a Recurring badge; the trash icon deletes an entry.
