Manage Emission Data

Tracking and managing emissions data is an essential part of working with kolum, ensuring your data is complete, accurate, and ready for validation and reporting. This section explains the different pathways you have to record, calculate, and collect emissions data for your CN codes, allowing flexibility depending on the type of data you have and your supply chain collaboration structure.

In kolum, emissions data can be:

Entered manually if you already have calculated values from your production processes or supplier reports.
Requested from traders when you purchase goods from intermediaries managing their own upstream suppliers.
Collected from suppliers when you purchase articles directly and need upstream emissions data for accurate tracking.

Each of these pathways links emissions data to your articles, import records, and supplier records within kolum, ensuring your emissions tracking remains organized and traceable.

Available methods for managing emissions data

Enter Emission Data Directly For CN codes where emissions data has already been calculated and is available for entry.
Get Emission Data from a Trader For cases where a trader, acting as an intermediary, supplies emissions data for purchased articles on your behalf.
Get Emission Data from Suppliers For purchased articles where you need to request and collect emissions data directly from suppliers, either via CSV/Excel uploads or through the supplier’s access to kolum.

Key considerations

Select the appropriate data management method based on the nature of the article and your available data.
Emissions data can be updated later if revised data is received from suppliers or traders.
All emissions data managed in this section automatically connects with your articles and import workflows in kolum, supporting clean, organized tracking and validation.
