Consumption Data Channels - Creating Consumption Data Channels

Data Consumption Channels are created so that you can add Consumption Data such as Waste, Transport, Business Travel, Commuting, Supply Chain etc in to Sigma without having to attach it to a Supply Point, Meter etc.

Once the Channel has been created, you can add Consumption Values via the Data Input Activity.  Click here for more details:  Entering Data Consumption Values manually.
