Fix a supplier's category (CNAE/SIC) for spend-based purchases

For spend-based purchases, Dcycle estimates emissions from each supplier's activity code (CNAE or SIC). If a supplier was auto-detected into the wrong activity — or none at all — you can correct it, and the spend-based emission factor recalculates.

Click “Data” in the left navigation.

Step 1

Step 2

Click “Categories”.

Step 2

Step 3

Open the “Purchases and CapEx” category.

Step 3

Step 4

Switch to the “Suppliers management” tab.

Step 4

Step 5

Each supplier shows its detected “Supplier Activity” and “Code type” (the CNAE or SIC standard used). Suppliers Dcycle couldn’t map confidently appear with a “Reviewing” status — these are the ones most worth checking.

Step 6

Click the supplier you want to correct to open its details.

Step 6

Step 7

The “Edit the supplier’s information” panel opens. Set the “Code type” (CNAE or SIC) and then the “Supplier Code - Activity” to the code that matches what the supplier actually does — this is how you fix a case like an energy retailer detected as “Food & beverages”.

Step 7

Step 8

Click “Save”. Dcycle recalculates that supplier’s spend-based emissions with the new factor. Mapping a previously unmatched supplier also clears its “Reviewing” status.

Step 9

Need to fix a single line instead of the whole supplier? The “Purchases management” tab lists individual purchases with their “Product category”, which you can correct the same way.
