A new Default Sust. Account field is available in the following tables:

G/L Account
Item
Item Category
Resource
Work Center
Machine Center

When you enter a value in the Default Sust. Account field on the Item Category page, the items you assign to that category inherit the value.

The Item, Resource, Work Center, and Machine Center pages include new Default CO2 Emission, Default CH4 Emission, and Default N2O Emission fields. To set these values, go to the Item card. When you set Purchase in the Replenishment System field for an item, you can edit these emission values. Otherwise, Business Central calculates the values. If you enter values in these fields and change the selection in the Replenishment System field, a message warns you that the change removes the values in the emission fields.

To use these fields, enable them on the Sustainability Setup page. This configuration step reduces clutter for businesses that don't want to use these fields.

When you enter a value in the Default Sust. Account field and work with purchase documents or general journals, the value transfers to the related Sustainability Account and Emission Amount fields.
