External Material Reference
An External Material Reference is basic data about a Material as defined by external parties/governments. External Material References can be linked to your Material Inventory, so that the Emission Factors for those Materials can be retrieved.
|
NOTE:
External Material Reference is a licensed addition that needs to be activated to be visible from the Workspace Menu. Please contact your SAI360 representative if interested to learn more.

NOTE:
Currently, we only support a single provider for subscription to emission factors: Ditchcarbon https://www.ditchcarbon.com
