With this feature, you can calculate CO2e for finished goods by using raw material emissions data from purchase documents and adding emissions from manufacturing processes.

To help you collect this data, the new CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields are available on the following pages:

Production BOM
Routing
Components
Operations
Production Order Lines
Consumption
Output Journals

On the Production BOM page, these fields get their values from the emission details of items. On the Routing page, they come from the emission details on the Work and Machine Centers pages.

The system calculates these fields by using the Average method on the Sustainability Value Entries page. When you run the Refresh Production Order action, you can see the calculated values on the production order. Each time you post, Business Central adds new values to the Sustainability Value Entry page for the finished goods. These values come from the consumption of raw materials and the output of operations.

The consumption and output entries create a Sustainability Value Entry that links to the Item Ledger Entry. The output entry also connects to the Capacity Ledger Entry. To prevent double postings for the same emissions, these entries post only to the Sustainability Value Entry and not to the Sustainability Ledger Entry. These entries relate only to the item emission valuation.
