What reports and exports are available in Harvest?
Harvest offers several in-app reports as well as exports that display data not shown within the app's reports.
Note that not all report types and export functionality are available to all Harvest plans. For more information about each report type, click on the related link to view the Help Center article for that report.
Reports
Harvest's in-app reports can help you find the data you need for your team’s time, expenses, invoices, and invoice payments. These reports, along with data from other sections of Harvest, can be exported to help your team analyze your data.
Below, you’ll find descriptions of each report in Harvest, along with where to find and export them.
Time report
The time report (Reports > Time) shows the hours and billable information for each client, project, task, and teammate.
Permissions: If you’re an Administrator, you can see all clients, projects, tasks, and teammates for the account in the report. Managers can see time for projects they manage and their assigned people, while Members can only see their own tracked time.
Export: Exporting the time report to a CSV or Excel file will provide a detailed time report. It’s not currently possible to export a time report that shows only the information seen in the web app. If your plan supports custom exports, you can choose the data included in your Excel or CSV export by clicking Export > Custom.
Detailed time report
The detailed time report (Reports > Detailed time) shows each individual time entry within a set of chosen filters. You can filter the report by timeframe, clients, projects, tasks, and team (or roles).
The report also allows Administrators to mark hours as invoiced or uninvoiced, and to move hours in bulk to another project or task.
Permissions: Administrators can run a detailed time report for all projects and people. Managers can run the report for projects they manage, for their assigned people, and for themselves. Members will only be able to run the report for themselves.
Export: This report can be exported to a CSV or Excel file which will contain more in-depth information about each individual time entry. If your plan supports custom exports, you can choose the data included in your Excel or CSV export by clicking Export > Custom.
You can export the in-app view to a PDF file and receive an emailed link to download the file. You can also export to Google Drive if you’ve set up the integration.
Detailed expense report
The detailed expense report (Reports > Detailed expense) shows each individual expense within a set of chosen filters. You can filter the report by timeframe, clients, projects, expense categories, and team (or roles).
The report also allows Administrators to mark expenses as invoiced or uninvoiced.
Permissions: Administrators can run detailed expense reports for all projects and people. Managers can run the report for projects they manage, for their assigned people, and for themselves. Members can only see their own expenses in the report.
Export: This report can be exported to a CSV or Excel file which will contain more in-depth information about each individual expense. If your plan supports custom exports, you can choose the data included in your Excel or CSV export by clicking Export > Custom.

Permissions: Only Administrators can view the profitability report.

Time activity log
The time activity log (Reports > Activity log) shows all timesheet activity taken in the account.
Permissions: Everyone can see edits to their own timesheet (either by themselves or by others). In addition, Managers can see timesheet activity for entries for people or projects they manage and Administrators can see all timesheet activity for everyone in the account.

If you invoice in multiple currencies, the invoices will be broken down into sections by currency. Totals for tax amounts, amount invoiced, amount paid, and the balance remaining will be shown at the bottom of each currency section.
The report can be filtered by timeframe, client, and status (all, draft, sent, late, paid, written-off).
Permissions: Only Administrators are able to view the invoice report.
