In order to initiate the Carbon emissions tracking in procurement for Parts, users must add carbon emissions values to the specific Supplier for Purchase Part in the Emissions tab.
Use this activity to add emissions details to the Supplier for Purchase Part using any of the three sources; Third Party, Supplier or Manual.
When the source is set to manual and the Emission Calculation Method is set to spend, the user must ensure the values entered are emission values per unit of currency in kgCO2e. Information recieved from B2B supplier are also take the same format of UoM. The Emissions Per Unit of the Substance group however will consider the Price defined in the General tab to show the Total Emission value for the part in Purchase UoM. For Spend calculations, the price of the part has no effect on it.
A substance group containing valid Substances must have been defined. System defined Substance group and substances have been included in the system or user will have the ability to create user defined Substance groups and Substances as well.
For third-party sources, a cumulative substance is required to get the emisisons values. All UoMs of Substances in a substance group should be set to same value, in order to add a group in the Supplier for Purchase part. To set a Substance Group as the Default Configurations for Emissions, All UoMs must be set to kgCO2e.
The carbon emissions per supplier per purchase part will be defined with the selected source.
When a Substance Group is set as the Default Configutation, the Total Emission value will be updated with the Emissions Per Unit of the Substance Group. This value will be used as the default total emissions value for the Supplier for Purchase Part system-wide.
