30. Administration – Default Conversions
Training
Default conversions are predefined in the application. The administrator can
always make exceptions by overriding these conversions. An reporting entity itself
can also override these conversions.
How this override process works is shown in the following sheets. 30
Experts in Enterprise Performance Management

31. Conversions
Conversion factors Training
Conversion factors may be entered to a data entry form or loaded from a data file on an annual basis. It is anticipated that the same
conversion factors will be used throughout an annual reporting cycle although these factors may change from year to year.
Conversion factors must be entered for each energy source in use (e.g. coal, natural gas, diesel etc.). The conversion factors provide
the conversion ratio from weight or volume of source energy into a measure of energy and a measure of the greenhouse gasses
emitted upon consumption. Energy sources may be measured by weight (e.g. metric tonnes, kilograms), volume (e.g. cubic
metres, litres) or energy (e.g. mega-joules, kilowatt-hours, therms). A conversion factor must be provided for any weight or volume
UOM used, or the calculations of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions will be incomplete.
Weight and volume factors may be entered in one of three combinations (weight and volume, weight and density or volume and
density). For further details of this setup, please refer to the Sustainability Reporting Starter Kit Implementation Guide.
There are several categories defined in the Custom4 dimension for conversion factors:
Country-specific
