Scope 3 tracking by item tracking
Scope 3 tracking by item tracking
The item card sets average or specific method so lots or serials carry their own emissions.
Area: Sustainability. Status: GA. Developer relevance: medium. Airtime: 0 min across 1 video, demoed.
Status evidence
- Nothing said about status; launch event convention: generally available unless stated otherwise.
Where they talk about it
- What's new in Sustainability: 0:59 to 1:14, demo at 3:17 (called "Scope 3 tracking by item tracking level" there)
Quotes
- 0:59 "for the scope three, now you will be able to track it based on the item tracking level." - States the main scope 3 change: emissions follow item tracking, with an average or specific method set on the item card.
Caveats mentioned
- The item card holds a default emission value (14 in the demo), which shows in the service order until posting links the correct item tracking.
Prerequisites mentioned
- Choose average or specific method on the item card.
- Item tracking (lots or serial numbers) on the items.
Documented features match
- Use specific method for carbon footprint calculation when enabling item tracking - high confidence (llm). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573379. Average or specific method
Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale. The wider product documentation on learn.microsoft.com was searched for this feature on the same date; the feature's data lists an article when one was found.
