Performing audit trails

Edit online

You can perform an audit trail for calculated emission values in the Emissions Management component.

About this task

The factor value that is applied depends on whether either the fall back spend-based emission factors or the supplier calculated and uploaded PCF values are applied. Envizi™ Supply Chain Intelligence includes Eora66 MRIO factors, which are USD-based. Therefore, the product.value and the product.valueCurrency must also be in USD to use the factors for emissions calculations. No limitations apply to the OrderLine.valueCurrency because it is irrelevant for emissions calculations.

When a product from a supplier is marked as material, a ComplianceRecord object is created internally to store the factor for the product. The factor is either provided by the supplier or a default spend-based factor is assigned. When the order line is ingested, the emission totals are calculated for the order.

Multiple factor values might apply to a product if no supplier-specific PCF value is provided. The factors take precedence in the following order:
  1. A country-based factor that is specified by unit of measurement, for example, kg.
  2. A global factor that is specified per unit of measurement.
  3. A country-based factor that is based on spend. EORA factors are in this category.
  4. A global factor that is based on spend. EPA factors are in this category.

Procedure

  1. From the side navigation menu, click Emissions management.
  2. On the Summary report tab, select a spend-based emissions total for location and click View details to drill down to the Emissions details page for the location.
  3. Review a spend-based factor calculation. In the Order line emissions detail table, click an order line to view its factor details. Review the following attributes:
    Factor source
    The factor set that was used in the emissions calculation. For spend-based fallback calculations that were made by Envizi Supply Chain Intelligence, the factor set is Eora66 MRIO.
    Factor category
    Specified when you first onboard and determines the factor value that is applied.
    Factor value
    The factor from the Eora66 database that is used in the calculation and it is based factor category and region.

    The quantity is multiplied by the cost to determine the total spend on an order line. The total spend is multiplied by the factor value to produce the emissions total.

  4. Review a supplier-based factor calculation. In the Order line emissions detail table, click an order line to view its factor details. Review the following attributes:
    Factor source
    Labeled as supplier.
    Factor category
    Specified when you first onboard.
    Factor value
    The PCF factor this is provided by the supplier in their PCF upload.
    • If the factor is per cost, then quantity is multiplied by the cost to determine the total spend on an order line. The total spend is multiplied by the factor value to produce the emissions total.
    • If the factor is per unit, then quantity is multiplied by the factor value to produce the emissions total.
