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.

What happens next

Delivery orders create one order (and one set of driver tasks) per unit, all linked to a single shared invoice. In Order History these rows carry a chip like "Shared invoice · 3 dumpsters"; paying the invoice settles all of them at once.
Invoice-only orders stay consolidated as one order. Estimates quote the units together in one estimate.

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