Business Central – Provide Carbon Equivalent Data for Sales
Sustainability Scope 3 value chain process automation involves using standard ERP processes to streamline the collection, calculation, and reporting of indirect emissions data across the upstream and downstream corporate value chain. The processes improve accuracy, efficiency, and compliance with sustainability goals. Scope 3 is significant for accurate tracking because it represents the majority of emissions, influences business decisions, and aligns with many regulations.
Scope 3 is also probably the most complex for measuring because it requires data from multiple sources. For example, information from vendors but also internal operations such as transfers, manufacturing, and so on. This feature provides flexibility by enabling you to provide accurate emissions information about the items you sell.
From October 2025, Business Central can accurately calculate item emissions based on values in Sustainability Value Entries, which currently only use the Average method. These values are used to add the calculated, read-only CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields on lines on sales documents. Note that this release doesn’t extend document reports to include the additional CO2e emission values.
