Generating Reports

You can use Visa Commercial Pay Reporting to generate a range of reports at a Card Pool level.

To run a report, click the Reporting icon from the sidebar and using the dropdowns available, select the Card Pool, Spend Type, Report Type, Report and Date Range or Statement Reference you wish to generate the report for.

Note

The fields are dynamic and you will see different options depending on the information entered in previous fields. For example, depending on the Report Type selected, you may see a Statement Reference dropdown that allows you to choose a specific statement period or a Date Range field where you enter specific calendar dates for the report.

  • The Card Pool, Spend Type and Report Type dropdowns determine the available reports in the Report dropdown and do not filter the contents of the report.

  • The statement dates in Visa Commercial Pay Reporting match the statements issued by the card provider.

  • The 'Current Period' in the Statement Reference dropdown covers transactions imported into Visa Commercial Pay Reporting since the last statement was received from your banking provider.

  • The maximum date range for reports is three months.

Transaction Reports

Transaction Reports contain transactional data supplied by your card provider (bank) alongside the deployment data captured when the virtual card was created.

When Visa Commercial Pay Online receives the transactions, they are automatically matched to the associated deployments. This gives you a detailed breakdown of the transactional spend along with any Custom Data Fields.

Enhanced Standard Reports with Configured CDFs

In standard reports configured with CDFs, only CDFs that are defined within the CDF templates in Visa Commercial Pay Online for both the Card Pool and Spend Type will appear as columns in the report. This will increase the performance of Visa Commercial Pay Reporting, and allow you to generate reports more efficiently.

The following reports are available in the optimised format:

  • Standard deployment report with configured CDFs

  • Standard transaction report with configured CDFs

  • Standard invoice report with configured CDFs

Note

Standard reports with configured CDFs will only be effective if custom data field templates have been configured for the Card Pool and Spend Type.
