Continia Sustainability gives you the flexibility to collect and manage carbon accounting data based on your preferences. For example, you can choose to create individual journals for each emission source or use a general journal, such as a G/L journal. You can personalize how you handle your environmental data, and there are three primary methods available:

1. Integration with G/L Accounts and Item - you can link specific G/L Account cards and Item cards to an environmental account type and account number. This allows the system to automatically populate environmental data fields during invoice creation, requiring only minimal additional metrics input from the user. See the Connecting Emission Data to G/L Accounts article, for more information. Users can also fill in this information manually when registering an invoice.

2. Data Sources - you can specify the data source within the Data Source FastTab of relevant Environmental Account cards. You can select accounts such as G/L Entry, Item Ledger Entry, Purch.Inv. Line, or Purch.Cr.Memo Line to extract information from. Refer to the Setting up Environmental Data Sources article, for more information.

3. Manual Reporting - you can report relevant emissions information directly within general or specific journals by selecting the appropriate environmental account and emission type and providing the corresponding metric matching the previously defined emission factor. Refer to the Entering Emission Data in Environmental Journals Directly article for more information.

For maximum automation and accuracy, we recommend utilizing options 1 or 2. These methods allow for direct import of relevant data into journals, reducing the risk of errors in emission type, factor, or account selection.
