Abstract: Mechanisms are disclosed for modelling and quantitatively characterizing emissions inflows and outflows. Scoping inputs are received including a physical process defined scope of emission-producing physical inputs. Modeling inputs are received, including footprints associated with physical manufacturing inputs. The model energy flows may be provided via a graphical modeling user interface and support allocation rule definitions for distributing emissions footprint definitions. An estimated emission flow is calculated based on combined energy flows. The material flows may be derived from aggregated transaction data associated with emission-producing physical inputs. The calculated emission flow may be based on a calculated emission footprint at stages along a production process. Analytics user interfaces associated with the calculated emissions flows may provide insight into the highest emission producing emission drivers along the production chain in connection with a technical report.

Abstract: In one aspect, there is disclosed a computer-implemented method that includes extending an existing first data model of an enterprise resource planning system to include a second data model, wherein the first and second data models provide a greenhouse gas emissions model; providing the extended greenhouse gas emissions model to enable a calculation that allocates to the product or the service an amount of greenhouse gas emissions; and causing display of a user interface including the amount of greenhouse gas emissions allocated to the product or the service. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for metadata-driven data maintenance. One or more data object queries are obtained from one or more data object frameworks. One or more sets of data objects are received based on the one or more data object queries. One or more data object nets are built based on the one or more sets of data objects and the one or more data object frameworks and respectively associated with one or more processes. The one or more data object nets and their associated processes are analyzed. Data object maintenance is performed on the data objects of the one or more data object nets based on the analysis of the one or more data object nets and their associated processes.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for building and implementing formulas. The systems and methods may treat operands in a formula as having a value and a unit type or dimension and may recognize the compatibility of unit types among operands. One embodiment performs automatic error checking of a formula based on the value and dimension of the operands and the expected result. The automatic error checking may be performed to assist a user in defining and building a formula. Another embodiment performs automatic unit conversion based on the value and unit type of the formula's operands. The automatic unit conversion may be performed when applying data to the formula during runtime or execution of an application program.
