Managing Customer Footprint Calculation

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to calculate customer’s footprints, using the emission data of customer to view the calculation results.

Overview

In this lesson, you focus on step 5, step 6, and step 7 of the overall process flow and learn to calculate periodic footprints for the different scope definition.

A flowchart outlining the steps to calculate Scope 3 emissions. Key actions include uploading master data, defining scope, importing business transactions, calculating emissions, and assigning emissions to relevant scopes. The flowchart highlights the importance of data readiness and periodic inventory calculations.

Import Business Transaction

You import the business transaction for the service confirmation. For instance, the AlmikaSoft Company looks at the Internal Service Confirmations in the Transactional Data for a selected period. Then they observe the actual run times of the different software in the period. They also distinguish via activities, for instance, how heavy the usage is–standby versus actual processing runtime.

The screenshot shows that the external location in India used the HR4 software for 1000 minutes.

A screenshot of an SAP system displaying an Internal Service Confirmation screen. The screen shows eight completed service confirmations for the ASO Company in the Use phase. The table details the plant, production document, resource, activity, and resource quantity for each confirmation. The import of this data finished on August 10, 2024.

Periodic Footprint Calculation for Customers

For AlmikaSoft, this information enables the calculation of emissions resulting from the use phase of the software by customers. The calculated data is later allocated to the emissions of the Berlin headquarters.

The screenshot shows all the emissions caused using the software. The emissions are 0.55 ton for Germany and the same for India.
