A one-time report might be useful when: * You need information about transactions that happened before you set up your recurring subscription. * You want to test a report before [setting up a recurring subscription](/docs/cybs/en-us/invoicing/developer/all/rest/invoicing/generate_custom_report.md ""). * You need a particular type of information only one time, so a recurring subscription is unnecessary. When you need past information that spans more than 31 days, you can create multiple one-time reports. In order to protect system performance, each user is able to generate up to three one-time reports concurrently. Additional one-time reports can be scheduled after the first three reports complete. After your one-time report is generated, it is available for download on the [`Available Reports`](/docs/cybs/en-us/invoicing/developer/all/rest/invoicing/available_reports.md "") page. Depending on the size of the report, it might take longer than 6 hours to generate. The process for creating a report subscription is the same as for creating a one-time report. The steps listed below focus on creating a one-time report; to follow steps specifically for creating custom subscriptions, see [Creating New Custom Report Subscriptions](/docs/cybs/en-us/invoicing/developer/all/rest/invoicing/create.md "") To generate a one-time report: 1. On the left navigation pane, click the **`Reports`** icon. 2. Under Downloadable Reports, click **`Available Reports`** . The `Available Reports` page appears. 3. On the Custom Reports tab, click **Create Report**. The Create Report Subscription page appears. 4. Under Account Setup, select whether to base the report on data from a specific merchant, or a group of merchants, and then choose an available value in the Merchants or Groups list. #### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This option is only available for partners and account level users. To create a report that includes all merchants or groups, use the default value. 5. Under Basic Report Setup, enter the following: 1. In the **Report Name** field, enter the name for your report that best reflects the data you want to capture. Each report must have a unique name containing up to 250 characters. 2. In the **Report Type** field, select the type of report that most closely represents the data or process you want to include. The `Business Center` automatically includes the most commonly used fields in your report based on this selection. See the next step for more information on how to customize these values 3. In the **File Format** field, choose whether the `Business Center` creates the report in XLS or XML format. 4. In the **Frequency** field, choose **One-time report** to create a single report covering the date range (and time zone) you choose. You can also select a [Recurring subscription](/docs/cybs/en-us/invoicing/developer/all/rest/invoicing/create.md ""). For information about supported time zones, see [Supported Time Zones](/docs/cybs/en-us/invoicing/developer/all/rest/invoicing/time-zones.md ""). 6.
