Business value
When you enable more diverse account subcategories for the sustainability account, you can reduce the number of accounts you need. You can also consolidate different types of information into one account.
Feature details
Users set a default Sustainability Account Subcategory for each Sustainability Account and include this information during setup. However, users can configure multiple subcategories for a single account.
When working with Sustainability Journals, users can change the Sustainability Account Subcategory on each line if multiple options are available. This approach lets users post entries to the same Sustainability Accounts but use different emission factors in the formulas. For example, if you want to use one account for all company cars, you can handle different emission factors for different types of cars more easily. You can post all entries by using only one account, but you can use subcategories as an extra analytic.
Additionally, users can post entries to the Sustainability Ledger Entry with zero emissions when they mark their Sustainability Account Subcategories as Renewable Energy. In this case, the system posts only the basic information used in the formula. The total emissions are zero, and the entry is marked as Renewable Energy.
