# What's new in Sustainability (2026 release wave 2)

> Sustainability changes in the 2026 release wave 2: formulas in purchase orders and invoices, value chain emissions in item and fixed asset journals, scope three tracking by item tracking level, sustainability ledger reversal for journal entries, and collect from GL that remembers what was posted.

[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_UXxbvgnHY) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2026-10-01 · 13:31 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## Overview

The video walks through what's new in Business Central Sustainability for 2026 release wave 2. It covers setup and formula configuration, then demos in a purchase order, a sales order, the item journal, item reclassification and a service order.

It then covers reversing sustainability ledger entries and the fixed asset changes: emissions columns in journals and an improved collect amount from GL. UDR certificate capture is mentioned, with details left to a separate video.

## Key points

- Sustainability formulas now work in purchase order and purchase invoice, so emissions can be calculated as in journals. In the demo, the formula for an account based on distance lets you change distance and the installation multiplier on the order line, but not fuel or customer amount, and the line recalculates.
- Value chain emissions are now available in item journals, item reclassification journals, fixed asset reclassification journals and service management.
- Scope three can be tracked at item tracking level. You choose an average or specific method on the item card, and the demo tracks different emissions by lot and serial number.
- The ESG report layout can print information per lot (emission basis details by item tracking). The transcript calls it 'ECG', which likely means ESG.
- Sustainability ledger entries can be reversed with a standard reverse transaction button, as for general ledger entries. This works only for entries created through journals, not for entries posted through documents.
- Collect amount from GL now remembers what was already posted and suggests only the remaining amount. When everything is posted, it suggests zero. Date filters still control the suggested period.
- Fixed asset journals gain sustainability columns, including sustainability account and total CO2. Fixed asset reclassification can split CO2 by a reclassify CO2 percentage, the same way as acquisition cost.
