    Excerpt

    Notes on Exported Reports

    • Each row in the exported invoice report represents a phase.

    • Each row in the exported linguist report represents a unique combination of a phase and linguist. ( If three linguists worked on one phase, then three rows will be represented for that phase).  

    • Only phases that are marked as billable in the Workflow will ever appear in any of the reports in Vendor

    • Only billable phases that have been marked as invoiceable will ever appear in Invoice reports. 

    • The cost columns in the report are displayed to these reports include the 4th decimal place of the pay rate. While this may not seem standard, we allow users to set their rates to the 4th decimal place (for percentage-based rates this is 6 decimals). Due to this, it is necessary for the rates to go out to the 4th decimal place to get the most accurate costs.
