In the Accounting tab in the left navigation bar, you can create new reports for calculating the emissions of a PCF and view and edit existing reports.
Report overview
The first column of the overview shows the title of each report. To the right of this is the report type. In addition to Product Carbon Footprints (PCF), reports on Corporate Carbon Footprints (CCF) or Event Carbon Footprints (ECF) may also appear here.
The Status column is currently always In Progress for PCF. In future, it will indicate whether the report is still being processed (In Progress) or has already been completed (Published). The From and To columns indicate the period during which the input data for the product was collected and accounted for. The CO2e (Total) column is empty for the PCF as there is no summation of emissions across locations. The last two columns show who last modified the report and when the change was made.
Filter functions
To search for specific reports, you can use the three filters: Type, Status and Year. The Type filter allows you to search for Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF), Event Carbon Footprint (ECF) or Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) reports. With the Status filter, you can search for reports that are In Progress, In Review, Finished or Published. The Year filter allows you to narrow down the reporting period by either double-clicking on a year in the annual overview or selecting two different years. Once the filters have been set, only reports that match the selected criteria will be displayed.
Create a new report
To create a new report, first click on the plus button at the end of the table. Select the Product Carbon Footprint option in the Report Type field. The company name is filled in automatically. Then select a previously recorded product from the product list [Link!!!] under Product and define the desired reference period within which the input data for the product is to be recorded and used for balancing. Click on the Create button to create the report, which will appear directly in the report overview.
