View CO2 emissions for customers and resources

CO2 emissions can be displayed on:

• The customer web

• Invoice

• Freight bills

More information on CO2 emissions can be found at CO2 emissions in grams, overview.

Conditions

In order for Opter to calculate and display CO2 emissions, you must first make the settings described in Settings for CO2 emission calculations.

Consider the following

About the webs:

• Estimated and Calculated CO2 emissions can be displayed on the customer web, but not on the resource webs.

• Calculated CO2 emissions cannot be displayed on the customer web order page. This is a deliberate limitation, as the Calculated CO2 emissions are based on data that is not available at the time of order booking. (Information on the data on which the CO2 emission calculations are based can be found at How Opter calculates CO2 emissions).

Show CO2 emissions on the customer web

Select whether the estimated and/or calculated CO2 emissions of the order should be displayed on the customer web as follows

• The estimated CO2 emissions of the order can be displayed on the order page, main page and search page.

• The calculated CO2 emissions of the order can be displayed on the main page and the search page. (Calculated CO2 emissions can be displayed as of Opter 2024.12.00.)

  Calculated CO2 emissions cannot be displayed on the order page. This is a deliberate limitation, as the Calculated CO2 emissions are based on data that is not available at the time of order booking. (Information on the data on which the CO2 emissions calculations are based can be found at How Opter calculates CO2 emissions).

View the estimated CO2 emissions of the order on the order page

Estimated CO2 emissions can be displayed to the customer when placing an order on the customer web as follows:

• The estimated CO2 emissions are displayed at the top of the order page as soon as the customer has filled in enough information to enable the CO2 emissions to be calculated (i.e. to and from address, service and vehicle type (actually price vehicle type)). The idea is that customers can choose between different services and price vehicle types and that the CO2 emissions caused by the different choices are clear to the customer.

• On the order page, when the customer clicks on Save, a preview opens where Estimated CO2 emissions (g) appears in the section Information. Estimated CO2 emissions are also displayed in the preview (detail view) that opens when clicking on an order in any of the lists on the main page or search page.

If you want estimated CO2 emissions to be displayed on the order page and in the preview, do this

1. Click on Settings > Internet > Internet order settings, and on the tab General.

2. Select the customer web from the list on the left, then tick the Show estimated CO2 emissions checkbox in the Settings box.

3. Click on to save all changes.

4. In order for Opter to be able to calculate the estimated CO2 emissions, the customer must be able to fill in the to and from addresses, service and vehicle type. These fields therefore need to be displayed on the order page. Go to the Fields on the order page tab in the internet order settings and check that those fields are included. The fields are Sender, Street - sender, Street no. - sender, Postcode - sender, City - sender, the same field for recipients, and also Service type and Vehicle type. For more information, see Internet order settings (window).

The image below shows estimated CO2 emissions on the order page.

If you hover your mouse over the text Estimated CO2 emissions (g) (previous CO2 emissions (g)), you will see the data used to calculate the estimated CO2 emissions, see image below.

View the estimated CO2 emissions of the order on the main page and search page

If you want to display the estimated CO2 emissions of the orders on the main page and the search page, set it on the Columns in the lists and fields in the detail view tab in the internet order settings. The column is called CO2 emissions, estimated (g). For more information, see Customising the columns on the customer web and Internet order settings (window).

If you chose to show estimated CO2 emissions in the preview (detail view), by ticking the checkbox Show estimated CO2 emissions in the instruction above, then Estimated CO2 emissions (g) will be shown if it is calculated for the order. This means that Estimated CO2 emissions (g) will not be displayed for older orders, unless you have deliberately chosen to recalculate the CO2 emissions of the order. (For more information, see Recalculate CO2 emissions for orders).

View the calculated CO2 emissions of the order on the main page and search page

If you want to display the calculated CO2 emissions of the orders on the main page and the search page, set it on the Columns in the lists and fields in the detail view tab in the internet order settings. The column is called CO2 emissions, calculated (g). For more information, see Customising the columns on the customer web and Internet order settings (window).

If you want the order's Calculated CO2 emissions to be displayed in the preview (detail view) that opens when clicking on an order in any of the lists on the main page or the search page, please do the following

1. Click on Settings > Internet > Internet order settings, and on the tab General.

2. Select the customer web from the list on the left, then tick the Show calculated CO2 emissions checkbox in the Settings box.

3. Click on to save all changes.

Calculated CO2 emissions (g) is displayed if it is calculated for the order. This means that Calculated CO2 emissions (g) will not be displayed for older orders, unless you have deliberately chosen to recalculate the CO2 emissions of the order. (For more information, see Recalculate CO2 emissions for orders).

Show CO2 emissions on invoices

To show the order's CO2 emissions on invoices, the following to the report/invoice template:

• The estimated CO2 emissions of the order: data name="EmissionForecast".

  Corresponds to the Estimated CO2 emissions (g) field in the Data section in order reception. (In Opter 2024.06.00 and earlier, the field is called CO2 emissions (g)).

  If the estimated CO2 emissions have been manually entered in the Estimated CO2 emissions (g) field, the manually entered value will be displayed on the invoice instead of Opter's calculation of the estimated CO2 emissions of the order.

• Calculated CO2 emissions of the order: data name="EmissionEstimate".

  Corresponds to the Calculated CO2 emissions (g) field in the Data section in order reception.

Show CO2 emissions on the Freight bill

From version 2024.12.00 and onwards, it is possible to show CO2 emissions on freight bills.

To show the order's CO2 emissions, the following can be added to the report/template for freight bills:

• The estimated CO2 emissions of the order: data name="DEL_CalculatedEmissionForecast".

  Corresponds to the Estimated CO2 emissions (g) field in the Data section in order reception. If the estimated CO2 emissions have been manually entered in the Estimated CO2 emissions (g) field, the manually entered value will be displayed on the Freight bill instead of Opter's calculation of the estimated CO2 emissions of the order.

• Calculated CO2 emissions of the order: data name="CalculatedEmissionEstimate".

  Corresponds to the Calculated CO2 emissions (g) field in the Data section in order reception.
