Publishing Carbon Footprint Data as Journal Entries

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to publish the calculated footprints from SAP Sustainability Footprint Management to SAP Green Ledger as journal entries.

Overview

You have learned to calculate and analyze corporate carbon footprint for various Greenhouse Gas (GHG) scope categories. In this lesson, you will learn to communicate corporate footprints calculated in SAP Sustainability Footprint Management (SFM) to SAP Green Ledger.

SAP Sustainability Footprint Management enables you to calculate corporate footprints for various periods. The integration with SAP Green Ledger facilitates the conversion of these footprints into financial journal entries, enabling a more holistic approach to sustainability reporting and management.

To communicate the corporate footprints to SAP Green Ledger, there are certain communication configurations that you must perform.

Communicate Footprints to SAP Green Ledger

When the SAP Green Ledger connects to the integrated SAP Sustainability Footprint Management system, it retrieves the emissions data for the inventory scope calculation variant across all periods.

The SAP Green Ledger consumes data at a period level based on the footprint inventory scope.

When the data is reviewed on the SFM side, it becomes accessible to the SAP Green Ledger. For instance, if data for January and February are reviewed on SFM, only those months' data will be visible in the SAP Green Ledger.

Watch the following video to learn how to communicate the carbon footprints from SAP Sustainability Footprint Management as journal to the SAP Green Ledger.

Summary

The integration of SAP SFM with SAP Green Ledger provides a seamless process for communicating corporate carbon footprints and converting them into journal entries. This end-to-end solution allows organizations to manage their sustainability initiatives more effectively, ensuring accurate financial reporting and analysis.
