Environmental Reporting

Environmental Reporting Overview

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Environmental Accounting and Reporting includes the following dashboards, which report source usage, emissions data, carbon disclosure, and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) measures for organizations:

Configuring the Emissions Reporting Unit of Measure Used in Dashboards

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables you to choose and configure a unit of measure for report emissions in the dashboards. Initially, the emissions UOM defaults to KG (Kilograms), with a UOM Conversion of 1. To view the emissions data using a different reporting UOM in the dashboards:

  1. Define the desired UOM and the UOM Conversion Factor with respect to KG (Kilograms) in the data warehouse table GHG_SOURCE_APPLICATIONS_W. For more information, refer to the section titled "Setting Up Data Warehouse" in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Environmental Accounting and Reporting Installation Notes for Business Intelligence and Data warehouse.

  2. Clear the existing data in the Environmental Data Warehouse and clear the Oracle Business Intelligence cache.

  3. Re-run the ETLs.

For example, to report emissions in Tons, update the data in the column 'CO2_E_UOM' to 'T' and data in the column 'CONVERSION_FACTOR' to 0.001 in the Data Warehouse table GHG_SOURCE_APPLICATIONS_W.

Understanding the Emissions Dashboard

The Emissions dashboard displays a summary of emissions by scope and by source for the whole organization in the default organization hierarchy. The summary is shown by year and by month for a selected year. You can set up reporting thresholds for emissions for your organization. When the emissions are below the threshold, then a green indicator appears on the report. When the emissions are above the threshold, then a red indicator appears on the report.

To view the Emissions page

  1. Navigate to OBIEE Dashboards. Click Emissions. The Emissions page appears.

  2. The following reports display in the Summary tab:

  3. The following reports display in the Emissions by Scope Tab:

  4. The following reports appear in the Emissions by Source Tab:

  5. Click the Carbon Permits tab.

  6. In the Legislation field, select those governing bodies for which you want to generate reports. Click Apply.

    A report displays for each legislation, listing the organizations within the legislation and the CO2-equivalent quantity for each scope within each organization. You can sort the report using the following parameters:

    For more information about carbon permit management, refer to Setting Up Carbon Permit Management (P79A80).

Understanding the Metrics Dashboard

You can define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Environmental Accounting and Reporting application to capture metrics relevant to an organization. Refer to the “Defining Key Performance Indicators” topic in the Setting Up chapter for more information. When you set up the KPIs, the EAR application calculates the metrics using the transactions of the sources that are included in the numerator and denominator of the KPI definition and displays the results in the Metrics dashboard. For example, you can define a KPI to calculate and report the amount of emissions per distance travelled, or the amount of energy used per employee, or the amount of fuel consumed per volume of water pumped.

To view the Metrics page

  1. Navigate to the OBIEE Dashboards. Click Metrics. The Metrics page appears.

  2. Select the KPI and the Year for which you want to view the metrics. The following reports display:

Understanding the Reporting Dashboard

Based on the default organization hierarchy, the Reporting dashboard displays the top four levels of the organization structure. This dashboard also includes organizations that maintain operational control. It also includes the names of the parties that might be interested in the organization.

Note: The pre-built OBIEE dashboards use 01 Level Organization, 02 Level Organization, 03 Level Organization, and 04 Level Organization as the default nomenclature to represent the four levels of the Organization Structure set in the Reporting Parameters. However, you can choose to rename them based on your business needs.

Select the Calendar, Year, and Organization Hierarchy for which you want to view the Carbon Disclosure Project report.

    Note: In the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) dashboard page, Company refers to the Level 01 Organization, Division refers to the Level 02 Organization, and Facility refers to the Level 04 Organization in the Organization Hierarchy. The Level 03 Organization is not used for the CDP.
