- Column A shows the footprint items you have entered in step 1 (adding usages and emissions). Column B shows the TAG that is used by the Ecochain application, do not change this TAG
- Columns D shows the distribution method, for example: kg or kWh for absolute numbers and % for percentages. Whether the distribution method is absolute or relative depends on the users selection prior to the export (see above). Column E shows the total amount or percentage that should be distributed over the processes. Whenever this distribution is incorrect, the ‘Difference’ column (G) will show how much of the utilities or direct emissions is still undistributed.
- In columns H-J the user can indicate the absolute number (e.g. in kWhs) or percentage (i.e. %) of the total footprint item that is allocated to each process (3 in this example).
- Enter the footprint item amount per process;
- Check whether the ‘Difference’ column (G) is 0, if not check your distribution;
- When finished, save the Excel-file on your personal computer;
- Go to the ‘Process x Product’ tab and click ‘Import’;
- Click ‘Select an xls file’;
- Select the saved file from your local computer;
