Review and Configure the Setup

Review all the setup data that's imported from the rapid implementation package.

Before you start

Ensure that you're assigned a role that has all the privileges of the predefined Sustainability Application Administrator role.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to each of the following tasks in the Sustainability functional area to review the corresponding data that was imported and modify them as needed:

   1. Manage Activity Types

      Delete any activity types that you don't intend to use.

   2. Manage Sustainability Descriptive Flexfields

      Disable context-sensitive segments and delete contexts corresponding to the activity types that you deleted in the preceding step.

   3. Manage Sustainability Value Sets

      Disable any value sets or their values that you don't intend to use.

   4. Manage Global Warming Potentials

      Delete any global warming potentials that you don't intend to use.

2. In the Sustainability Measure Types and Sustainability Emission Types lookups, disable any measure types or emission types, respectively, that you don't intend to use.
3. If the preconfigured setup data does not meet your organization's business needs, then make adjustments as needed directly in the application.
4. Set values for the CO₂e Reporting UOM (ORA_SUS_CO2E_REPORTING_UOM) and Currency Conversion Rate Type (ORA_SUS_CUR_CONVERSION_RATE_TYPE) profile options.
5. Configure the search index to enable the activity type attributes to be visible in the search results on the Sustainability Activities page.
6. Create a few activities in your environment. While doing so, ensure that the attributes used while creating activities match the attributes on the emission factors provided in the data sheet so that calculation of emissions can happen.
7. Conduct thorough testing to ensure that the setup functions correctly in your business environment. For example, you can calculate emissions, validate and post your activities to a sustainability ledger, and close a period.

Caution: Before you create and post activities, Oracle recommends that you review all preconfigured setup data and delete any data that does not meet your business needs. After posting activities, if you don't intend to continue with the setup any more, then you will not be able to delete it from your environment.
