Download the Purchases with custom emission factor CSV template
CSV template for bulk-importing purchases calculated with supplier-specific emission factors instead of Dcycle's default database.
Use this template when your suppliers have given you the carbon footprint of the products you buy and you want each purchase calculated with that factor instead of a spend-based default.

Load your factors first
The Custom Emission Factor column only accepts factors that already exist in your organization. Load them in bulk following Bulk upload supplier emission factors for purchases, then download this template again: the "Valid values" sheet lists every factor you can use.
This template has fewer columns than the standard Purchases template. Because the factor already carries the unit, you enter the purchased product, purchase date, supplier country, the custom emission factor, the amount, and optionally the expense type (OPEX or CAPEX) and the company within your group.
Company and facility columns show examples
In the "Valid values" sheet, the company, facility, license plate and custom factor columns contain example values. Download the template from inside Dcycle to get the dropdowns filled with your own organization's data.
How to use the template
- Download the template and fill in one row per purchase. Don’t rename or reorder the columns.
- In the Custom Emission Factor column, copy the factor exactly as it appears in the “Valid values” sheet.
- In Dcycle, go to Data, open Purchases and CapEx, click Upload purchases, choose Bulk upload, and select the Custom calculation method before uploading your file. See Upload purchases and capital goods (CapEx) for the full import wizard.

Once loaded, they appear as valid values in the purchases template, ready to apply.

If your organization manages subsidiaries, the same file can route each row to the correct one.
