To view data on the Scope 3 dashboard, you must configure the emission category types to define the categories for which you want to report scope 3 data.

The following are the tables that you must configure to view your supplier category, spend category, and GHG category data on the Scope 3 dashboard. After configuration, the metric definitions for Scope 3 emissions use the data from these tables.

Create an emission category type
Create emission category types to define the categories for which you want to report scope 3 data that will be displayed on the Scope 3 dashboard.
Configure the supplier emissions by model table
Configure your supplier emission data collection to capture emissions by specific models of assets to report and calculate Scope 3 emissions accurately.
Create an inflation factor
Create inflation factors for spend-based emission factors to account for price changes over time, which can otherwise make these factors inaccurate. Spend-based emission factors estimate pollution based on monetary expenditure. Adjusting spending for inflation before applying the emission factor ensures a more realistic picture of your emissions footprint.
