Reports (LSP)

Overview

On the Reports tab, language service providers (LSP) have access to the Cost Details, Invoice, and Linguist reports. These reports, which you can export as .csv files, show costs and charges for each step of the translation workflow. The invoice also includes a summarized PDF version of the CSV file.  

Cost Details Reports

This report includes all the phases that are assigned to the vendor or LSP who’s running the report. 

• The purpose of the Cost Details report is to give both the translation buyer and the Language Service Provider (LSP) an estimate of costs for a project within a specific time period.

• Cost Details show costs for phases that are billed on word count and hours spent.

• This report can return phases that are completed or in progress in the TMS.

• Any phase that generates cost can be included in this report.

Invoices

• With the Invoice report, LSPs can quickly invoice their client.

• The Invoice report includes phases that are ready to be invoiced based on the workflow rules.  

• Phases cannot be invoiced twice so once a phase is invoiced, it will not be included in any other invoice.  

Linguist Reports

• The Linguist Report shows the real amount of work completed on a task based on segment data. This means that two or more linguists can work on a single phase and have their work reflected in this report. 

• LSPs see the real user name in the Responsible User column instead of the alias.
