How the records connect

Product purchases contribute to the accounting year’s Purchases total, and product sales contribute to its Sales total. Product inventory records stock at the start and end of the year, alongside annual production and consumption. Purchases and sales do not update those stock counts. The annual check is Opening + Production + Purchases = Closing + Consumption + Sales; emission factors describe the emissions associated with the relevant activities. Freight, business travel, upstream leased assets, service sales, and downstream leased assets are service activities and are not included in Product inventory. Electricity and purchased heating/cooling are also excluded from Product inventory. Use Configure in Employee commuting to add a commuting entry. Use Boundaries to define included entities; it is also available directly from the sidebar.

Review before moving to another year

Check required fields, attached documents, product balances, and the factors used. Use the full tables for search, filters, columns, and row actions. Reviewing table data explains these controls. Changing the accounting year opens a separate set of records. Earlier-year purchases and sales remain in their own year, while previous closing stock carries into the next year’s opening stock.
