Vendor Management

With Vendor Dashboard, you can manage translation vendor information.

With Rate Charts, you can view rate charts for translation services from your vendors.

With Reports, you can choose either of the following:

• Cost Details - generate cost detail reports for all work performed by all vendors for a given date range.
• Invoices - access the official invoices from your vendors in this tab. Invoices help enterprises track current translation spending and estimate future spending.

Cost detail 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.
• This report can limit cost information to the work done by the vendor who is generating the report.

Invoices

• Invoice reports are intended to give clients and vendors precise cost information on billable work so the LSP can invoice the client.
• Phases must be invoiceable to be included in the Invoice report. That means the phase must be completed, billable, and marked for inclusion in the Invoice report.
