Emissions

On this tab, you can configure settings so that Opter can calculate CO2 emissions. For more information, see CO2 emissions, overview, Settings for CO2 emission calculations (and CO2 emissions in tonnes).

Function	Description
CO2 emissions (g/km)	Enter the vehicle’s CO2 emissions in grams per kilometre. If you enter Fuel, Fuel consumption (per 100 km), and and CO2 emissions (g/km), Opter will use the value in the CO2 emissions (g/km) field to calculate CO2 emissions for shipments and orders. If you want Opter to calculate the vehicle’s CO2 emissions (in g/km) itself, leave the field CO2 emissions (g/km) blank and fill in the fields Fuel and Fuel consumption (per 100 km). The data on CO2 emissions is taken firstly from the vehicle, secondly from the vehicle type and thirdly from the price vehicle type. If the shipment is subcontracted, the CO2 emissions data will be obtained firstly from the subcontractor and secondly from the price vehicle type. For more information, see Settings for CO2 emission calculations.
Fuel	Indicate the type of fuel used by the vehicle, e.g. diesel. The CO2 emissions from the fuel must be recorded in the fuel register. For more information, see Settings for CO2 emission calculations.
Fuel consumption (per 100 km)	Enter the vehicle’s average fuel consumption in the selected unit per 100 km. The unit is set in the fuel registry. Example: 2.5 litres per mil = 25 litres/100 km. If you enter Fuel, Fuel consumption (per 100 km), and and CO2 emissions (g/km), Opter will use the value in the CO2 emissions (g/km) field to calculate CO2 emissions for shipments and orders. If you want Opter to calculate the vehicle’s CO2 emissions (in g/km) itself, leave the field CO2 emissions (g/km) blank and fill in the fields Fuel and Fuel consumption (per 100 km). The data on CO2 emissions is taken firstly from the vehicle, secondly from the vehicle type and thirdly from the price vehicle type. If the shipment is subcontracted, the CO2 emissions data will be obtained firstly from the subcontractor and secondly from the price vehicle type. For more information, see Settings for CO2 emission calculations.
Capacity converted into pricing weight (kg)	The field is used if the pricing weight of the order compared to the capacity of the vehicle is to be taken into account. For more information, see Settings for CO2 emission calculations.

Account coding

In Opter, the VAT rate on the order determines the income and cost account to which a certain amount is booked. On this tab you can make exceptions to the regular account coding. The tabs you make changes to are marked with .

Click on to display the VAT rates held in the system. Then select the account to which amounts with the different VAT rates should be posted. More information on the individual drop-down lists can be found at The Account coding tab. The settings in this tab apply if you reach item 4 in the list in How Opter selects accounts for income and expenses. If [Default] is selected for any of the options here, the account coding is taken from the VAT rate.
