On the reports tab, Enterprise users have access to Cost and Invoice reports. These report export as .csv files and both are rows of individual targets. Below are a few more details about both reports to help you understand the differences between them.
Cost reports are NOT available to vendors.
Cost Reports
The Cost report's purpose is to give a client an estimate of costs for a specific time period.
It shows accurate word counts but does not give estimates for hourly costs.
Cost reports can return phases that are completed or in progress in the TMS.
All phases that belong to targets that have at least completed the Leverage TM phase may be included in the Cost report.
The Cost report includes work assigned to all vendors.
Invoice Reports
Invoice reports are meant to give clients and vendors accurate cost information on invoiceable work.
Phases must be invoiceable to be included in the Invoice report.
Create Reports
To create a report,
Log into the Lingotek Vendor app as an enterprise user.
On the left, select the Reports tab and then choose the type of report you wish to create.
On the right, click the + icon.
Complete the dialog. Select a vendor, a date range, and the type of report you wish to create. Apply filters as desired.
Cost Reports
Report Scope - The default is to have Work in progress selected. This means that all phases within documents that were created within the selected date range will be included in the report. If you unselect that box, only phases that were marked invoiceable will be returned between the date range.
Date Range - Limited to two months.
Invoice Reports
Date Range - Limited to two months.
Vendor - Only the phases assigned to the selected vendor will be included in the Invoice Report.
Filters - Cost and Invoice reports can be filtered by projects, metadata, and language pairs.
You can filter by one project. You must select a vendor before using the project filter. The drop-down will only show projects that have at least one phase assigned to the selected vendor organization.
You can filter on several metadata fields, however, targets will only be returned if they match all metadata listed in the filter.
Filter on as many language pairs as desired, any target that matches any of the language pairs will be returned.
When you are ready, click Create.

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 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.
