It adds a water and waste scope on categories, optional water intensity, discharge into water and waste intensity factors with custom formulas, responsibility centers as facilities with water capacity, required intensity types and water types on journal lines, and water and waste targets and baselines in sustainability goals. Water and waste data can currently be posted only through the sustainability journal. tier: official language: en tags: - water management - waste management - sustainability ledger - emissions tracking - csrd compliance - responsibility centers - intensity factors - sustainability goals - water types - waste tracking system: sustainability review: state: reviewed by: opus at: "2026-10-07T22:59:15.258Z" flags: [] generated: at: "2026-10-07T22:59:15.280Z" pipeline: 0.2.0 prompts: extract-video: 1 summarize-video: 2 input_hash: e9ff92cbd2b398ea7867e2fce19ab1b697221c6d2b230bd765ea77f73895d38c evidence: - kind: video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=29s title: "What's New: Water and Waste Management (2025 release wave 1)" date: "2025-04-01T15:00:35.000Z" commit: null t: 29 quote: But now with this wave we extend the functionality to water and waste management. - kind: video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=42s title: "What's New: Water and Waste Management (2025 release wave 1)" date: "2025-04-01T15:00:35.000Z" commit: null t: 42 quote: We did it before because it was required by CSRD and some other rules.

[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2025-04-01 · 9:22 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus) ## Overview The video extends Business Central sustainability beyond emissions to water and waste management. The presenter says this covers requirements such as CSRD. It walks through setup of accounts, categories and subcategories, optional intensity and discharge factors with custom formulas, and a new water and waste scope next to scope one, two and three. It then shows responsibility centers used as facilities with water capacity fields, extensible enums for intensity types and water types, posting through the sustainability journal, and use of water and waste intensity in sustainability goals with baselines from previous periods. ## Key points - A new water and waste scope sits alongside scope one, two and three for emissions. Choosing it on the sustainability category is mandatory, along with whether to track water intensity, discharge into water or waste intensity. - Water and waste factors and custom formulas are optional. Without factors, you can enter the total intensity in the journal. - Responsibility centers can be treated as facilities. This is optional and only needed for reporting against facility capacity. A new sustainability fast tab holds water capacity dimension, capacity unit (a standard unit of measure) and capacity quantity. - Water intensity type options are withdrawn, discharge, consume and recycled. Waste options are generated, disposed and recovered. One must be selected, and the enums are extensible. - Water type options are surface water, sea water, groundwater, third party water and produced water. A water type must be chosen for water postings. - Water and waste data can currently be posted only through the sustainability journal. Unlike emissions, they cannot be posted through the general journal or purchase documents. Posted values land in sustainability ledger entries. - Sustainability goals support water and waste intensity as targets and baselines. Targets are free forecast values, and the baseline is based on a previous period. ## Chapters - [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=0s) Introduction to sustainability expansion - [0:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=42s) Water management setup and configuration - [1:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=105s) Responsibility centers and facility tracking - [2:55](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=175s) Waste management scope and intensity - [3:57](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=237s) Water and waste intensity types and enums - [4:53](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=293s) Setting up accounts, categories, and subcategories - [6:53](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=413s) Journal entries and posting water and waste data - [8:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=492s) Sustainability goals and targets for water and waste ## Features | Feature | Status | At | |---|---|---| | Water management setup | status not stated, demoed | [0:52](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=52s) | | Water intensity factor | status not stated, demoed | [1:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=70s) | | Discharge into water factor | status not stated, demoed | [1:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=90s) | | Responsibility centers as facilities | status not stated, demoed | [1:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=105s) | | Water capacity dimensions | status not stated, demoed | [2:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=149s) | | Waste management scope | status not stated, demoed | [3:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=190s) | | Waste intensity factor | status not stated, demoed | [3:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=216s) | | Water intensity type enum | status not stated, demoed | [4:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=249s) | | Waste intensity type enum | status not stated, demoed | [4:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=249s) | | Water type enum | status not stated, demoed | [4:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=278s) | | Water and waste journal entries | status not stated, demoed | [6:53](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=413s) | | Sustainability goals for water and waste | status not stated | [8:32](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMwHvimNTY&t=512s) | ## AL objects mentioned As heard in the captions.
