How to add multiple dumpsters to one order in Dumpster Controls

The "Qty:" stepper on the New Order page books several units of the same size in one shot, with one combined invoice.

  1. Raise the quantity

    In the "1. Dumpster Rental" header, use the "Qty:" plus and minus stepper. A notice explains the behavior, for example: "3 units will be billed under 1 combined invoice. Each will be created as a separate order for the drivers."

  2. Watch availability

    For delivery orders, the summary warns "Not enough units available" ("You requested {n} but only {m} are available for this size.") and blocks submission until the quantity fits your free inventory.

  3. Review the combined summary

    The "Invoice Summary" shows per-unit math, for example "Subtotal (3×$400.00)", and multiplies tax and fuel accordingly.

  4. Submit as usual

    Click "Create Delivery Order" and confirm the preview. The toast reads like "3 orders created (1041, 1042, 1043)" with the shared invoice number.

Troubleshooting

A sibling order shows $0 in Order History.

Grouped invoice children are zeroed on purpose; the chip reads "Paid via #{order}" pointing at the primary order that carries the invoice total.
