Enter Emission Data Directly

Overview

kolum supports manual capture of emissions where values are known from external sources. Emissions are now recorded at the Supplier × CN Code level. Once saved, the values are inherited by all articles that are linked to the same supplier and CN code, ensuring consistency and traceability across your portfolio.

Access Path

Supplier subpage (authoritative entry point): Supply Chain → Suppliers → [Select Supplier] → panel Purchased CBAM Goods → Edit on the relevant CN code row.

Scope and Data Model

• Granularity: Values are stored on the Supplier × CN Code tuple and propagate to all linked articles.

• Direct emissions (tCO₂e/t): Process emissions under the producer’s operational control.

• Indirect emissions (tCO₂e/t): Emissions associated with purchased electricity/steam/heat/cooling consumed in production. If configured, kolum calculates: Indirect emissions = Consumed electricity × Emission factor

• Production Method: Required for specific CN codes; must match the allowed methods for that classification.

Procedure — Provide or Update Emissions (Supplier Subpage)

1. Navigate to Supply Chain → Suppliers and open the relevant supplier.

2. In Purchased CBAM Goods, locate the CN code to be edited and select Edit.

3. In the edit drawer, review or complete the following fields:

   • Article classification (CN code): Pre‑filled and non‑editable.

   • Buying company: Pre‑filled where applicable.

   • Country of origin.

   • Production facility: Select if known/required.

   • Production method: Must be valid for the CN code.

   • Direct emissions (tCO₂e/t): Enter a numeric value.

   • Source of electricity: e.g., Received from the grid.

   • Consumed electricity: Quantity per tonne of output.

   • Emission factor: Factor applicable to the electricity source/unit.

   • Indirect emissions (tCO₂e/t): Auto‑calculated where enforced; otherwise provide a numeric value.

4. Click Save.

Result The values are stored against the Supplier × CN Code and immediately applied to all articles linked to that combination. No article‑level edits are required.
