Understanding How to Work with the Sustainability Activity Ledger

JD Edwards Sustainability Framework keeps a record of an event or activity that impacts the environment such as stationary combustion, from various business processes, and stores it in a repository called the Sustainability Activity Ledger (F20S11). The Sustainability Activity Ledger Program (P20S11) enables you to directly enter, modify, and manage sustainability activity records, including the quantities of resources consumed and the resulting emissions. With the Import Grid Data functionality, you can also use this program to mass upload the activity records directly from a spreadsheet.

You can also use this program to view and modify the sustainability activity records that were created using other applications such as Standard Voucher (P0411) and Voucher Match (P4314). This ensures that all sustainability-related events, including the ones that are manually tracked, are accurately recorded and accounted for thus maintaining the completeness of sustainability reporting. The ability to directly input and manage records is critical for organizations aiming to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and meet sustainability goals.

When you enter the activity source in the Sustainability Activity Ledger Program (P20S11), the system based on the setup, displays by default the related information such as the activity type, scope, and other associated details. After this, you can manually enter the resource quantity and verify the other details to ensure accuracy before you save the record. You can access the Emissions form from the Row menu to enter the emissions for the activity. You can use this program to copy a sustainability record and then make changes to it on an as-need basis. You can also use this program to void records to reverse activities if required. When you void an activity, the system marks it as V for voided and creates a reversal entry in the Sustainability Activity Ledger.

You must set up the Sustainability Framework MBF (P20S12) version processing option for the Sustainability Activity Ledger program to inherit these processing options.

It is crucial to implement proper security controls for this program that ensure that only authorized personnel, such as the Sustainability Manager or Controller, have full access and control over the application. This ensures that sensitive sustainability data is managed securely and prevents unauthorized changes to the sustainability activity records.

Note: You can insert activity records into the Sustainability Activity Ledger via orchestration also.
