Emission Factor Default Issue for GRC:Metrics Application (<= V19.1.3)The following information pertains specifically to plugins up to and including version V19.1.3, released in November 2024, for the GRC: Metrics application. Description This article addresses an issue observed in the evaluation of the Calculated Metric definition with emission factors in the formula. When entities are linked to a Metric Definition and the corresponding Emission Factor Location (EFL) record is present, Currently, if the date range of the EFL record is out of range of the calculation date range, the emission factor value defaults to zero—even if a valid emission factor exists for the parent location record. Issue Current Behaviour:When an entity is linked to a Metric Definition, and there is an Emission Factor Location record for the entity’s location, if the dates for the Emission Factor Location record fall outside the calculation date range, the emission factor defaults to zero, regardless of the availability of a valid emission factor for the parent location. Steps to Reproduce Link an entity to a Metric Definition.Ensure that an EFL record exists for the entity’s location but that the EFL date range is out of the calculation date range.Run a calculation on the Metric Definition.Observe that the emission factor value defaults to zero, even if there is a valid emission factor for the parent location with a valid date range. Workaround Establish a new emission factor record to match the calculation date range. The emission factor value can reference the parent EFL value.
