Carbon Usage Entry
In addition to entering Carbon Transactions against the Nominal Ledger accounts, independent Carbon usage information can also be recorded by entering Carbon Transactions directly into the Emission Group accounts.
You can use these transactions as a way of recording Carbon usage information that is not related to any Nominal Ledger account. The transaction entry is similar to entering a Journal.
