On our last Blog I described how you can add carbon tracking to your descriptions in Eclipse.
In this blog I will run through flagging and recording carbon data through a structured popup and free field.
In any data entry screen, budget worksheet transaction grid or ledger grid, right click on the line you want to add the carbon details and select Carbon.
This will bring up the Extended Tracking Codes window.
You can select the Carbon type from the drop list which will populate the CT free field. You can also enter flags into R1 and R2 for tracking rebates (nothing to with carbon!).
Select from the list of Carbon types. Although this is the default, you can edit this list to customise to your production and region.
Once you select the Type, the 2 description prompts will update and the Sub Types will show in the drop list.
Once you select the Sub Type the entry fields will display with drop lists of units and total fields for the user to enter amounts relative to the Unit Desc.
Enter the totals and press OK to save your data.
Carbon Tracking Report
To run a Carbon Tracking report go to the General Ledger and select Reports. Use the Report Defaults to create a new Carbon Tracking Report. Check the CT option. Add in the CT From\To range, save the settings and pess ok to generate the Excel report.
To check the CT on batches before posting, use the following settings and press save and ok.
For advanced users, setup sequence ranges to identify all the accounts in your budget where items containing carbon could be coded. Run the CT report and check for any entries missing Carbon Tracking.
