Carbon Transactions for Profiled Accounts

Carbon Transactions for Profiled Accounts

If the Nominal account being posted to is profiled, then accounts referenced in the profile can also be flagged as Account for Carbon but if they are, then they must have the same Emissions Group and Classification as the profiled account.

When accounts are added to a profile, you will be prompted to allow the system to change the Emissions Group and Classification of an account if it does not match the account being profiled.

When transactions are posted to a profiled account, the Kg CO2 for the transaction will be apportioned across the profile accounts using the profile percentage. If any of the accounts in the profile are not set to Account for Carbon then those accounts will not receive a proportion of the Kg CO2.

For example:

The table below shows the profile for Nominal Account 1010 and how the Kg CO2 will be apportioned.

Edit/ Delete

If the source transaction is batched then the associated Carbon Transaction will also be batched and will be available for editing from the batch.

For Purchase Order Processing, the Carbon usage information is not saved unless the invoice is posted.

Deleting batched transactions will delete the associated Carbon Transaction.

Selecting to delete the Transactions at the time of Nominal Ledger Year End will also delete the associated Carbon Transactions. Please note that the transactions will only be deleted when running a Nominal Ledger Year End if the associated Sales and Purchase Ledger transactions have already been deleted.
