Continia Sustainability uses the Business Central job queue functionality to optimize business processes and automate repetitive tasks. Through the task scheduler, you can view, create, and modify jobs that execute specific codeunits or reports in the background. You can schedule these jobs to run either once or on a recurring basis, which provides flexibility in task management. For general information on how to work with job queues, refer to the Microsoft documentation.

Continia Sustainability currently includes the following default codeunit:

Codeunit
Name		Description
6237234CTS-CS Job Q Import to Env JnlThis job queue automates the import and posting of environmental data into the Environmental Journal when automated posting is disabled or when data is incomplete. You can enable this job queue in several ways:
  • Assisted Setup wizard - activate the job queue during the initial setup (Set up Continia Sustainability) or rerun the wizard later to enable it without re-importing data.
  • On the G/L Account or Item Card - enable the Automatically Post Environmental Entries by Default option to enable automated posting for new G/L accounts and item cards, or set it individually on each card. If enabled, sustainability data is imported and posted automatically when a purchase invoice is posted. If disabled, data must be imported manually into the Environmental Journal before posting. If any required data is missing, the system still posts the entry, and the job queue will import the missing data for manual completion and posting
  • Job Queue Entries page - start the job queue from the related Job Queue Entry card.
