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.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- 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.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including program code which when executed causes the system to provide operations comprising:
- 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.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including program code which when executed by at least one processor causes operations comprising:
- 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.
