Manage Emission Factor Mappings Using User Interface

Welcome to our demo on managing emission factor mappings using the user interface. If you want to use Oracle sustainability to find match factors and calculate emissions automatically, you need to set up emission factors using emission factor mappings. To enter emission factor mappings, you can now use the user interface.

It's especially beneficial when quickly creating ad hoc emission factor mappings, updating any incorrect factors, and dating outdated ones or deleting the ones that are unused and no longer needed.

I have logged in as a sustainability administrator and I select the Sustainability tab and click on the Sustainability Activities work area. I am now on the Sustainability Activities dashboard. Now let's click on the tab at the bottom to go to the emission factor mappings page.

Here, I can see the emission factor mappings already created. To create a new mapping, click the Create mapping button at the top right. On the new emission factor mapping draw, there are three sections, basic details to capture the start and end dates for mapping along with a description for additional context.

The ranking is the numeric value included in an emission factor mapping record indicating the priority of the mapping when the emission calculator identifies multiple matching emission factor mappings for the same emission type. A lower number indicates a higher priority.

Mapping attributes. Specify the activity type. The activity type attributes. Legal entity. Country. Supplier or an item.

These attributes help determine whether an activity matches the emission factor. All attributes in this section except for activity type are optional.

Emission factor details. For each emission type, set a factor value along with the measure type, the numerator UOM, and then they dominated UOM. For amount based measures, specify the denominator currency instead of the denominator UOM.

Additionally, you can capture the source of the emission factor for easier identification and matching. Let me click Create to create single mapping here. You can also use, create, and duplicate functionality to efficiently create multiple emission factor mappings with the same attribute values.

For example, you can create different mappings for different emission types for an activity type, like for stationary combustion, you might want to capture carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane.

You can see here that the mapping got created with the details we provided. To edit existing mappings, you can use the pencil icon under the action columns or click on the Edit emission factor mapping link in the confirmation message displayed after successfully creating a mapping. Let's click on the Edit emission factor mapping link in the message.

Let me update the factor value and click Update. If an emission factor mapping is already in use to calculate emissions on an activity, you can only modify the ranking, description, or enter an end date. You can also view the details of emission factor mappings by clicking on the corresponding mapping number.

Now, let's dive into how easy it is to locate and analyze specific mapping using key attributes. You'll notice here that we have various filtering options. Say you want to search for data related to a specific emission type, like carbon dioxide and an activity type like stationary combustion.

With just a couple of clicks, I have narrowed down the search results to only show emission factor mappings for carbon dioxide related to stationary combustion. You can use the column icon to select additional attributes for default display on the emission factor mappings page.

Now let's say you want to filter even further, maybe by a supplier or by a specific mapping number. You can use the search box to search by a supplier, or you can narrow down your search by providing specific mapping number.

You can sort the data in various ways by dates, by ranking, or by source. You also have the option to select multiple records and either export them to Excel or delete them if they are unused or unnecessary.

The emission factor mappings user interface does enables you to efficiently manage emission factors by allowing you to search, view, create, update, and delete mappings. This completes the demo. Thank you for watching.
