New transaction data availability

After you sign up, your account becomes active within 8 - 9 hours and you can start viewing the reports on your Dashboard.

For the Dashboard, Sigma, and Reporting API, new transaction data appears within approximately 3-4 hours after transaction completion. For example, ledger entries for an invoice finalized at 10:00 AM UTC on January 1, 2025 become available in reports as soon as 01:00 PM UTC the same day.

You can use the Data Pipeline to sync Revenue Recognition data with a custom data warehouse once every 6 hours. Ledger entries for new transactions appear in SDP within 8-9 hours.

The availability periods described above apply to the following use cases:
