# Creating reports


**Note**  
Data Exports enables you to create exports of the Cost and Usage Report (CUR) 2.0. This is the new and recommended way to receive your detailed cost and usage data from AWS. For more information, see [Migrating from CUR to CUR 2.0 in Data Exports](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cur/latest/userguide/dataexports-migrate.html).

You can use the **Cost and Usage Reports** page of the Billing and Cost Management console to create Cost and Usage Reports. You can create up to 10 reports for an individual AWS account.

**Note**  
It can take up to 24 hours for AWS to start delivering reports to your Amazon S3 bucket. After delivery starts, AWS updates the AWS Cost and Usage Reports files at least once a day.<a name="create-cur-steps"></a>

**To create Cost and Usage Reports**

1. Open the Billing and Cost Management console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/).

1. In the navigation pane, under **Legacy Pages**, choose **Cost and Usage Reports**.

1. Choose **Create report**.

1. For **Report name**, enter a name for your report.

1. For **Report additional content**, select **Include resource IDs** to include the IDs of each individual resource in the report.
**Note**  
Including resource IDs creates individual line items for each of your resources. This might increase the size of your Cost and Usage Reports files significantly, based on your AWS usage.

1. Select **Split cost allocation data** to include detailed cost and usage for shared resources (Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS).
**Note**  
Including split cost allocation data creates individual line items for each of your resources (that is, ECS tasks and Kubernetes pods). This might increase the size of your Cost and Usage Reports files significantly, based on your AWS usage.

1. For **Data refresh settings**, select whether you want the AWS Cost and Usage Reports to refresh if AWS applies refunds, credits, or support fees to your account after finalizing your bill. When a report refreshes, a new report is uploaded to Amazon S3.

1. Choose **Next**.

1. For **S3 bucket**, choose **Configure**.

1. In the **Configure S3 bucket** dialog box, do one of the following:
   + Select an existing bucket.
   + Select **Create a bucket**, enter a bucket name, and then choose the Region where you want to create a new bucket.

1. Review the bucket policy, select **The following default policy will be applied to your bucket**, and then choose **Save**.

1. For **Report path prefix**, enter the report path prefix that you want prepended to the name of your report. 

1. For **Time granularity**, choose one of the following:
   + **Hourly** if you want the line items in the report to be aggregated by the hour.
   + **Daily** if you want the line items in the report to be aggregated by the day.
   + **Monthly** if you want the line items in the report to be aggregated by month.

1. For **Report versioning**, choose whether you want each version of the report to overwrite the previous version of the report or to be delivered in addition to the previous versions.

   Overwriting reports can save on Amazon S3 storage costs. Delivering new report versions can improve auditability of billing data over time.

1. For **Report data integration**, select whether you want to enable your Cost and Usage Reports to integrate with Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift, or Quick. The report is compressed in the following formats:
   + **Athena**: parquet format
   + **Amazon Redshift or Quick**: .gz compression

1. Choose **Next**.

1. After you have reviewed the settings for your report, choose **Review and Complete**. 

You can always return to the **Cost and Usage Reports** page in the Billing and Cost Management console to see when your reports were last updated.
