How to create an invoice-only order in Dumpster Controls

Invoice Only bills work that already happened, with no truck dispatched. It is also the only creation flow with built-in landfill, overweight, and extra-fee billing.

1. 1

   Pick the type and basics

   Select "Invoice Only" on the "Create New Order" page, choose the customer, size, "Amount ($)", "Tax (%)", and "Fuel Surcharge (FSC)". Date fields read "Service Date" and "Pickup Date" (past dates allowed), the address reads "Service Address", and notes read "Service Notes".

2. 2

   Save the landfill info (optional)

   In "Submit Landfill Info" ("Upload the receipt and confirm the net weight."), upload the receipt photo and enter the net weight; the extractor can auto-read weight and cost from the receipt image. Click "Save Landfill Info". A green chip confirms "Landfill info saved" with an "Edit" link.

3. 3

   Charge overweight if it applies

   Toggle "Charge overweight to customer?". The panel shows "Included (tons)" ("From size", editable), "Net weight", and "Extra (auto)". Set "Price per extra ton charged to customer ($)" (pre-filled from the size's overage rate); the "Goes on invoice" box shows the resulting charge.

4. 4

   Add "Additional Fees"

   Click "Add Fee" and pick the type: "Overload", "Unsecured Load", "Trip Charge", "Contamination", or "Other", plus the amount. Attach photos as evidence ("Add photos as evidence (recommended for Overload)."); they are shown to the customer on the invoice.

5. 5

   Pick the payment method and submit

   Choose "Payment Link", "Cash", or "Card by Phone", review the "Invoice Summary" (which now includes a "Landfill / Additional" line), and click "Issue Invoice", then "Confirm & Send" in the "Invoice Preview".
