Improved custom emission factor functionality

It would be very useful to be able to manually adjust the dates for which a factor set is applied, even if that means a simple way to create a copy of a managed/default factor set (or select factors from within it) and adjust the effective dates in bulk. Similarly, it would be useful to have the ability to copy individual managed factors to make individual adjustments as needed. I know this can be done more painstakingly through downloading a factor report and copying over the information to a Custom Factor Setup template, but it would be great if there was a simpler way to do this.

    We have a factor set shift functionality that works in conjunction with the recently released detailed factor set hierarchy functionality (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/envizi-esg-suite?topic=accounting-factor-set-hierarchy). The factor set shift allows you to shift the factor set published dates forwards or backwards by a specified number of months. While the UI pages are still being tweaked prior to client facing release they should be available soon. In the meantime you can reach out to support to request a specific factor set to be shifted.
