Overview of Accelerator Spreadsheets

Oracle provides accelerator spreadsheets that help you to quickly prepare your data for setting up Oracle Fusion Cloud Sustainability.

Accelerator spreadsheets are templates with prepopulated data that you can use for setting up common activity types, attribute values, and emission factors from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the United Kingdom (UK) government. Oracle recommends that you prepare your data in these templates. You can use the templates as is or modify, add, and delete entries to meet the requirements of your business.

Oracle recommends that you use the accelerator spreadsheets to prepare your data for all entities such as activity types, sustainability ledgers, value sets, emission factor mappings, and so on. The following are the accelerator spreadsheets that Oracle provides:
Note: The spreadsheets only contain sample data. Modify the data to match your business requirements.
  • Sustainability Ledger Sample Values

    Contains a sample sustainability ledger setup with ledger name and legal entities.

  • Value Sets

    Contains prepopulated value sets having reference data (for example, vehicle types, fuel types, and spend types) aligned with the US EPA and UK government emission factor mappings.

  • Activity Types

    Contains several common activity types and the possible measure and emission types associated with each activity type.

  • Global Warming Potentials (GWPs)

    Contains prepopulated GWPs for several emission types.

  • Emission Factor Mappings

    Contains prepopulated emission factor mappings from the US EPA and UK government.

  • Invoice Classification Rules

    Contains sample invoice classification rules to guide your own rules setup.

  • Activities

    Oracle provides one spreadsheet each for most common activity types such as mobile combustion, purchased energy, stationary combustion, and so on. These spreadsheets contain sample data that help you understand what you can capture on an activity.

In addition, Oracle provides the following published VB Add-in for Excel spreadsheets for value sets and invoice classification rules:
  • Value Set Published: You can use this spreadsheet as an alternative to manually creating value sets in Oracle Sustainability. It can be especially useful when you need to upload multiple values for a given value set in one go. Note that, using this published sheet, you can add values to one value set at a time.
  • Invoice Classification Rules - Published: You can use this spreadsheet as an alternative to manually creating one invoice classification rule at a time in Oracle Sustainability. However, if you plan to create or modify rules in bulk, then you must only use this published spreadsheet.
    Caution: Oracle recommends that you neither create your own Visual Builder Add-in for Excel spreadsheet for invoice classification rules nor use the REST API directly to create rules, as that can result in unintended data corruption.

You can download these published sheets from Oracle Cloud Customer Connect. Then, copy your prepared data from the accelerator spreadsheets to the corresponding VB Add-in for Excel spreadsheets, and then upload the data to Oracle Sustainability.

Tip: Ensure to read the comments in the column header of the accelerator spreadsheet that provides important information.
