How to Create and Apply Rules
- Go to "Rules" in the menu.
- Select "Create New Rule."
- Name Your Rule in a way that’s easy to identify later.
- Choose whether all conditions or any condition should apply.
- Set Conditions (e.g., Supplier, GL Account) that transactions must meet.
- Specify actions, like “if Supplier is ‘Car-Dashians’, assign to Scope 2 emissions” or “all transactions in X GL Account go to X emission source.”
- Click Create Rule to finalize it.
- Head back to the Carbon Ledger—you’ll see transactions that match your rule.
- Filter by the Rule to review all matching entries, confirm they meet your criteria, and then reconcile them in one step.
