Supplier as custom factor field defining to which account apply factor

Supplier could be added as field to define to custom factors so emission factor could be connected to specific supplier. 

We for example procure waste oils from different suppliers in single location. We know those have different emission factors and would like to record them, but since they are in same data type and same location Envzi doesn't currently support this level of detail.  It would also be easier approach than asking support to create sub types for data types needed. 

This is also matter of being able to record emissions and fuel use in the level of detail required from us in EU ETS reporting.

    Oh, I see. Being able to create/edit sub types could solve my issue, I think.

    Due to the complexity of the factor selection algorithm and the high performance requirement (this algorithm is called sometimes 100k+ each day), we're not able to easily add additional criteria for factor selection.

    Instead we would prefer to open up the administration of sub types to client sys admins. This enhancement isn't currently on our committed roadmap, but please respond to this comment to let us know if you believe this would address your issue to help us with prioritization.
