Carbon Tracking using Eclipse

Here is some information on how to record carbon tracking in Eclipse.

There are 2 ways you can track carbon items. Use the F Free Field in Eclipse or identify all the budgeted accounts where carbon tracking is required. If there was a mixed account split it out using levels so it would not appear split when running the cost report but all your carbon items are in the same account. The advantage of the latter is that everything say in the Airfares account would be included in your report rather than just individual items, some of which may have been missed in being flagged.

Then created a new Ledger report default called CARBON to pick up all the accounts using the sequence tab

When entering data, anything that needs to be extracted, enter in square brackets and used the pipe | to separate the data. This could just be the total kWh eg [2960] or more complex data like the example below. But what is entered needs to be in a consistent order. You should also use the different line types in orders\invoices for car hires and accom and the PC Fuel entry to record fuel/miles.

Flagging and Recording carbon data

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 do 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.
