Add a public PCF if needed

In Public library, find the appropriate product and supplier. Check the year, emissions unit, and company identity, then use Add to inventory from the PCF’s actions.
Shared PCFs appear in supplier inventory.

Choose the PCF on the record

Create or edit the purchase or BOM input and select the upstream PCF in its emission-factor picker. A supplier name alone does not attach a PCF.
3

Check quantities and units

Match the input quantity unit to the PCF denominator. If a conversion is required, enter the equivalent quantities supported by your product data. Review the saved estimate used as a fallback where the form provides one.

Review linked purchases

In Supplier PCFs → Inventory, open the PCF’s actions and select View linked purchases to see the purchase connections.
Remove hides a PCF from your inventory. Existing purchase and supply-chain connections continue to use it, and historical calculations are retained. It does not delete the supplier’s PCF. Live calculations can change when the supplier updates its PCF or your access changes. Use a snapshot when you need a fixed report value. If the required PCF is not available, request it from the supplier.
