## Reporting on Reason Codes

Once you have started using reason codes for payment operations, you can use [data sources](/docs/platform/data/reporting/data-sources-and-exports/data-source-reference) to export information to use to create reports about the reason codes and how they are being used. The Refund data source includes a **Reason Code** field that you can select for export and to use to filter the export.

The **Reason Code** field appears in the list of available fields under the Refund object wherever the Refund object is available in a join for other data sources, including the [Refund Invoice Payment](/docs/platform/data/reporting/data-sources-and-exports/data-source-reference/refund-invoice-payment-data-source) and [Refund Transaction Log](/docs/platform/data/reporting/data-sources-and-exports/data-source-reference/refund-transaction-log-data-source) data sources.
