Emissions from your apps
Mapping accounts to factors, suppliers' and items' own mappings, Fleet fuel, Expense mileage, reading every night and never counting twice.
From your apps (Standard and up) makes data lines from your other Ellibo apps. ESG only reads: nothing changes in Accounting, Fleet or Expense.
Accounting: map your accounts once
Every expense account (and fixed-asset account) is listed with its spend in the year.
- Choose a spend factor for each account - Freight & Transport > Spend - freight and courier, Travel > Spend - taxis and car hire...
- Choose Leave out for accounts with no emissions: salaries, taxes, depreciation, interest, bank charges.
- Suggest from names fills most of them; check them, then change what's wrong. With your own AI key, Suggest with AI does the rest.
Accounts still Not counted yet show at the top with their spend.
Suppliers with their own factor
A supplier's own factor wins over the account's. + Add under Suppliers with their own factor, or accept a supplier's answer on the Suppliers page.
Items by quantity
For things you buy by the litre, kilo or kWh - diesel, LPG, steel, packaging - Items by quantity > + Add, pick the item and a factor with the same unit. Their quantity on purchase bills counts instead of their spend, and that money is taken off the Purchases account so it isn't counted twice.
Fleet and Expense
- Fleet: every fuel fill counts in litres or kg as Scope 1, and every EV charge in kWh as Scope 2 (your grid factor).
- Expense: mileage claims in approved reports count as business travel (km x a car or bike factor).
Money already counted from Fleet litres or Expense km is left out of the matching accounts in the same month, with a note on the line.
Reading
- Read now reads every source that is on into the year you're looking at. Lines are replaced each time: a bill changed in your books changes its line.
- Read again every night (on by default) keeps open years up to date.
- A locked year is never read again.
