    How to see profit per order with Orders P&L in Dumpster Controls

    Orders P&L shows "What each order really made after fees and costs": one row per order or junk job with Revenue, Fees, Costs, Profit, and Margin, topped by realized-profit KPIs.

    Before you start

    • Open "Finances" and click the "Orders P&L" pill.
    1. 1

      Pick the range

      Choose "Last 7 days", "Last 30 days", "Last 90 days", or "All time" in the selector at the top right.

    2. 2

      Read the hero

      "Profit, collected orders" is your realized profit: only orders with a completed payment or a paid invoice count. The line below breaks it into Collected, Card fees, and Direct costs, and a pill shows the average margin. If some orders need attention, a "to review" pill appears; clicking it filters the table.

    3. 3

      Scan the tiles

      "Collected" (paid orders, gross), "Card fees" (Stripe and platform), "Direct costs" (landfill, fuel, labor), and "Uncollected" (invoiced with no payment; tap it to see the unpaid orders). Below them: "Profit / haul", "Orders analyzed", and the share of "Verified" orders.

    4. 4

      Filter and search

      Use the status chips "All", "Verified", "Partial", "Estimated", and "Review" (each shows its count), and the "Search by order # or customer" box.

    5. 5

      Sort the table

      Columns are Order, Date, Customer, Size, Revenue, Fees, Costs, Profit, Margin, and Status. Click Date, Revenue, Fees, Profit, or Margin headers to sort. Junk removal jobs carry a "Junk" badge in the Size column. Margins are color-coded and unpaid orders show "projected" under their profit.

    6. 6

      Open any row

      Click a row to open the drill-down drawer with the full revenue and cost breakdown and quick actions.

    What happens next

    • Very large ranges are capped: "Showing the latest 500 orders for this range. Narrow the date range to see everything."

    Troubleshooting

    The table says "No orders found".

    As the empty state suggests, adjust your filters or date range to see per-order profitability.
