# Setting Up Cost Reports Manually
OneLens prefers the IAM role and CUR bucket to be created in us-east-1 region if you have multiple regions active. However if you wish to setup the Role and CUR bucket in a specific region, this document will guide you with the setup process.
Its is a two step process:
1. [Setting up the CUR 2.0 report](#setting-up-the-cur-2.0-report)
2. [Creating IAM role for access](#creating-iam-role-for-access)
## Setting up the CUR 2.0 report
Billing service is a global service, which internally served by AWS in `us-east-1` region. We will configure the export via this global service to deliver reports in the S3 bucket created in choice of your region
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Initiate Data export
Go to Billing Service and click on[ Data Export](https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/home?region=ap-south-1#/bcm-data-exports).
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Create new report
Click on the `Create` button. Provide the Export Name as `OneLens-Standard-CUR-Export` and data export type should be the default, i.e. Standard Data Export.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Configure Table content setting

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
> Note - AWS will take 24-48 Hours to generate the first report.
## Creating IAM role for access
Once the S3 bucket is configured, lets create the IAM Role in the same region where you created the CUR bucket
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Create Cloudformation Stack

{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Review and create
Acknowledge that you are creating an IAM Role and create the role
