# Generating Reporting Data

- Generating Reporting Data

The **generating of data for reports takes place overnight once an order is Shipped**, so only orders with ship dates of the previous day or older will display data in reports.

- Alternative to the Automatic Report Data Generation

The same holds true for updates to **orders that have previously** been **generated**, **but have new activity that will affect Profit and Loss**, such as new refunds issued, adjustments, additional channel fees etc. These changes will **by default** be updated **overnight**. (There is the **option to manually regenerate individual orders** for P&L by navigating to the P&L tab on the order details page and clicking the icon shown in the screenshot below).
