Introduction

This Oracle by Example (OBE) describes how to set up the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sustainability Framework system to record and report for Scope 3 - Waste generated in operations. In this OBE, you will configure determinants, define an activity type and an activity source, and create a ledger entry to track sustainability.

Background

Organizations are increasingly required to track and report embodied greenhouse gas emissions from the life cycle of waste generated in operations, as part of Scope 3, Category 5. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sustainability Framework provides foundational components and activity ledgers to record these details.

Scenario

An electronics manufacturer operates a facility that generates hazardous waste, including spent batteries, as part of its operations. Additionally, significant agricultural product waste is managed at certain locations. The company tracks these waste streams for sustainability reporting under Scope 3, Category 5.

Prerequisites

  • Access to Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne with Sustainability Framework enabled (system code 20S active).
  • Appropriate roles and permissions to update Sustainability Foundation configurations.
  • Next Numbers configured for activity documents and batches.
  • Availability of supplier and Business Unit master data.

1: Setting Up Sustainability Foundation Determinant

 Create determinants to track the types of waste (for example, hazardous batteries):

  1. Sign in to the EnterpriseOne web client.
  2. From the EnterpriseOne Menus, select Sustainability Framework Setup (G20S41), and then select Determinants (P20S05).
  3. On the Work with Determinants form, click Add to open the Determinants Revision form (W20S05C).
  4. For each row, enter values in the following fields for the respective column:
    Field Value
    Determinant BATTERIES
    Determinant Description Batteries
    Determinant Type WASTE_TYPE
    Determinant RECYCLED
    Determinant Description Recycled
    Determinant Type WASTE_DISP
    Determinant Y
    Determinant Description Hazardous Waste
    Determinant Type HAZARDOUS
  5. Click OK to save the determinants.
    6. Description of sample-image-1.png follows

2: Mapping Determinant Type

To store determinants in the Activity Ledger table, map the determinant types to their corresponding columns.

  1. From the EnterpriseOne Menus, select Sustainability Framework Setup (G20S41), and then select Determinant Types Mapping (P20S09).
  2. On the Work with Determinant Types Mapping form, click Add to open the Determinant Types Mapping Revision form (W20S09B).
  3. Enter the following mappings in the grid for the two determinant types:
    4. Field Value
    Determinant Type HAZARDOUS
    Associated Data Item ALHAZFLAG
    Determinant Type WASTE_DISP
    Associated Data Item ALWASTDIS
    Determinant Type WASTE_TYPE
    Associated Data Item ALWASTTYP
  4. Click OK to save the changes.
    5. Description of sample-image-1.png follows
    Work with Determinant Types Mapping form

3: Defining Activity Type for Waste Generated in Operations

  1. From the EnterpriseOne Menus, select Sustainability Framework Setup (G20S41), and then select Activity Types (P20S01).
  2. On the Work with Activity Types form, click Add to open the Activity Type Revision form (W20S01D).
  3. Enter the following values:
    • Activity Type: WASTE
    • Activity Type Long Description: Waste Generated in Operations
    • Scope: 3
    • Scope Category: 5
    • On the Determinant Types tab, create three rows, one each for determinant types : WASTE_TYPE, WASTE_DISP and HAZARDOUS.
      • Description of sample-image-1.png follows
      Determinant Type tab
    • Enter measure type QUANTITY in the Measure Type field in the detail grid on the Measure Type tab.
      • Description of sample-image-1.png follows
      Measure Type tab
    • (Optional) Enter the emission types for the Waste activity type in the Emission Type field on the Emission Types tab: CH4, CO2.
      • Description of sample-image-1.png follows
      Emission Type tab
  4. Click OK to save the changes.

4: Defining Activity Source

To uniquely represent the source of waste generated in operational activities and its relevant characteristics, thereby enabling accurate emission factor selection, we will designate WST_BATTERY as the activity source.

  1. From the EnterpriseOne Menus, select Sustainability Framework Setup (G20S41), and then select Activity Source (P20S07).
  2. On the Work with Activity Types form, click Add to open the Activity Source Revision form (W20S07C).
  3. Enter the following values:
    • Activity Source: WST_BATTERY
    • Activity Source Description: Battery - Waste
    • Activity Type: WASTE
    • Transaction Source: V (to specify the source of voucher or invoice)
    • Determinant: BATTERIES, RECYCLED, and Y (in the three rows)
  4. Click OK to save the changes.

5: Entering the Sustainability Activity Record in Activity Ledger (P20S11)

Set up processing options for Sustainability Framework MBF (P20S12):

  1. From the EnterpriseOne Menus, enter IV in the Fast Path, and then enter P20S12 in the Interactive Application field. Open Sustainability Framework MBF and select Processing Options from the Row menu.
  2. Enter processing options on each tab as required:
    • Default tab: Set relevant defaults for sustainability processing.
      • Description of sample-image-1.png follows
      Default tab
    • Workflow tab: Configure workflow options (if applicable).
      • Description of sample-image-1.png follows
      Workflow tab
    • Audit tab: Enter 1 to enable auditing if required by compliance or reporting, else leave it blank.
      • Description of sample-image-1.png follows
      Audit tab

Set up processing options for Activity Ledger (P20S11):

  1. From the EnterpriseOne Menus, select Sustainability Framework Processing (G20S10), and then right-click Standard Voucher Entry (P20S11IZJDE0001) and select Processing Options.
  2. Select the Default tab, and then enter value for Version processing option. You can leave it blank for the system to consider ZJDE0001.
    3. Description of sample-image-1.png follows
    Default tab

Enter Sustainability Activity Record in Activity Ledger (P20S11)

  1. From the EnterpriseOne Menus, select Sustainability Framework Processing (G20S10), and then select Sustainability Activity Ledger (P20S11).

    • Supplier: 4343
    • Business Unit: 1
    • Activity Date: System Date
    • Activity Source: WST_BATTERY
    • Resource Quantity: 500
    • Resource UoM: EA
