To start uploading Scope 3 data, navigate to your Sustainability Module and determine what kind of data you want to enter - asset level (activity), travel, transportation, and transit level (activity), or spend level (financial transactions or purchases). If you're producing or sourcing certain types of materials and/or products, you can also enter data at the product level to track and calculate product carbon footprints (PCFs).

Use the workflow options and scenarios below to help you determine where it makes the most sense to upload your data. Use the guides in the "Entering Data" Column if you need more guidance on how to upload the different types data.

Workflow	Scenario	Example Scope(s)	Entering Data
