About basic reports and advanced reports
Basic reports
Basic reports show the actual cost and click data for portfolios (when applicable), ad networks, ad network account entities (such as campaigns and ads), label values and classifications, bid unit constraints, and network constraints. The reports are based on clicks billed by the applicable ad network, and they optionally can include additional traffic metrics, conversion data, and any custom metrics you create. Basic reports can help you monitor your online marketing efforts, investigate trends, identify opportunities for improving performance, and understand the impact of automated bidding and optimization.

Advanced reports
Advanced reports can help you make strategic decisions about your advertising strategy by identifying where you would benefit by reconfiguring your geographical targeting or network settings. They can also help you validate conversion data available in Search, Social, & Commerce against the advertiser’s internal conversion tracking data.
All users can generate the Transaction Report, which shows individual transactions by keyword. All other advanced reports use data captured through the Adobe Advertising conversion tracking service and can be generated only for advertisers with the service.
All advanced reports optionally can include conversion data or any other metrics you create. Advanced reports generated by portfolio rather than by ad network show data for campaigns that are currently mapped to the specified portfolios. The reports
don’t include data for campaigns that were in the portfolios during the date range but aren’t still there.
