在最新的 产品足迹管理 的版本中，我们加入了 货运运输足迹的计算。这使得运输相关的足迹计算和管理成为可能。这包括 GHG Scope 3.4（上游运输）和 Scope 3.9（下游运输）以及Scope 1（与公司拥有的车辆相关的直接排放）。 具体是如何来实现的呢？ Scope 3 中的排放对大多数公司来说是一个很大的挑战。运输就是这样。大多数公司都外包了运输，没有经营自己的车辆。物流服务提供商（LSP 或 3PL）和运输公司自己执行运输，运输控制工序，并提供路线、车辆和车辆消耗的详细信息。因此，一个选择是从不同的 3PL 中收集所有碳排数据。但是，这会耗费很多精力，此外 3PL 计算其排放的方式也存在差异，难以形成统一的大局。借助新的货运运输功能，SAP产品足迹管理 能够解决并解决这一挑战。当应用程序模拟第三方物流产品的运营时，我们的客户并不一定需要来自 3PL 的详细信息。对于内向运输（收货），采购订单数据足以启动计算，因为路线、车辆和运输特定的排放系数由应用程序提供。查找并使用适当的排放系数评估业务运营的环境影响，是计算产品足迹的主要挑战之一。产品足迹管理在这方面也已经有了很大的更新，并在持续改进。 另一个挑战是跟踪有关计算方法或报告要求的法规更新。在运输方面，产品根据 GLEC 框架以及 DIN EN16258 进行计算。如果对这些规范进行更改，我们将直接更新工具中的计算设置。 货运运输功能作为附加独立应用集成到 SAP产品足迹管理中，用于计算所有内向和外向运输的运输排放。这些应用与预配置的内容一起提供，包括海港、机场、铁路驳船终端等网络数据，以及全球物流排放委员会 (GLEC) 的车辆数据和排放系数。 管理数据 应用新添加到数据预配功能中，使您能够直接在产品足迹管理中创建和更改数据。可以在此应用中创建和编辑货运的主数据实体，而无需连接到 ERP 系统，并且可以通过 .csv 模板上载事务数据。而从 ERP 系统导入的主数据将仅显示为视图（无法编辑）。 使用新的计算运输足迹应用，您可以从 .csv 平面文件上载传输数据。此外，您可以检查上载并检查上载是否成功。可以设置自己的网络和位置，并且具有用于路线和距离的嵌入式引擎。 管理计算错误应用为您提供错误仪表盘，其中提供了已执行计算及其状态的概览。原始数据由客户端提供，然后转换为正确的格式，以便在产品足迹管理中使用。系统随后可以处理提供的和已转换的数据。为计算正确的足迹结果，应用程序使用配置的客户特定传输路径，或基于*大圆距离的自动计算逻辑来计算相应的距离和排放量。处理数据后，会自动进行验证，并提供有关数据内问题的详细反馈（例如，错误的邮政编码）。可以调整这些问题以成功触发计算，甚至改善结果。提供有价值的信息，以检查计算是否成功、是否提取了正确的数据（例如，包裹和装运数量），或者是否选择了正确的场景。 另一个非常棒的亮点是“查看传输数据”应用，该应用具有动态报表。此应用通过直接在工具中生成图表和计算数据的详细报表，为您提供正在查找的业务智能功能。您可以使用多个选项来选择和接收碳报告所需的 KPI。您可以选择总油井到车轮 (WTW) 排放，也可以查看油井到油罐 (WTT) 或油罐到车轮 (TTW) 排放总量。此外，还提供 KPI，如每单位距离（千米）、包裹或装运数量、体积以及重量或千米。您可以查看每月和每年数据，还可以查看更多维度，例如运输模式、服务提供商、段类型、包裹目标和源位置。此外，您可以下载创建的表。   *大圆距离 great circle....
