Consumption Data is generally used for Scope 3 reporting. It is added into the Consumption Data Channel and then used in Energy Intelligence for reporting on.
If you want to add them in bulk, move to the Entering Consumption Data Values in bulk page.
This page shows how to enter Consumption Data Values manually:
You can either open the Data Input Activity from the Consumption Data Channel or open it directly.
This method allows you to add readings to single or multiple Channels, depending on whether you access it from the Consumption Data Channel or open the Activity directly.
From the Data Selector in an Activity, highlight the Consumption Data Channel or the Site (or if you have Consumption Data Channels at Site Group level - highlight the Site Group)
The Data Input Activity will open and show the Consumption Data Channel you highlighted:
If you want to add more Consumption Data Channels to the list, you will need to see the Data Selector.
Alternatively, open the Data Input Activity separately and choose the Consumption Data Channel(s) you want to add values to
The Data Selector will default to Item Finder and Site.
Once you have the Consumption Data Channel(s) in the main part of the screen, you will be able to see the Commodity, Unit, Emission Type etc. You can also see the previous Value and previous date.
Note: To check whether you need to enter Consumption values or Emission values, look at the Emission Type column:
In this example, the Channel has also has Emissions in the name:
See below for how to deal with the failure.
If the Value fails Validation, you can view the reasons why it has failed.
This will show what the value has passed and failed on:
Option | Description |
---|---|
View Validation Results | Shows what the value has failed on |
Override Validation | Allows you to continue with a value, even if it has failed validation. You will see the following prompt if this option is chosen: Click OK to confirm you want to enter the Value |
Clear Values | Removes the values entered in the To Date and Consumption fields |
Edit Site Group | Takes you to the Site Group screen (This option will change depending on what level the Consumption Data has been set up on) |
Edit Consumption Data | Takes you to the Data Consumption Channel |
All Values need to pass Validation, before you can save them.
If you have a number of correct Values, but still have an incorrect one, it would be best to choose Clear value and come back to that Channel at a later date.
Once all Values show as passed:
Note, you do not have to enter a reading for every line displayed. If you do not have a reading, it can be left blank.
The visible columns can be managed from the Column Selection.
Note: there is no validation when entering Values directly into a Channel. It is recommended to use the Data Input Activity to validate the readings entered.
The HFD Data Viewer Editor appears:
The HFD Data Viewer will display a line at the top with the date you selected. The Value will be 0 and the Status will be Data Edited Manually.
Note: It is recommended to use the Data Input Activity so that Sigma can validate each Value entered
