Any idea on how to estimate transport emissions associated with part in eco-footprint functionality. “The amount of substance emitted per one unit of distance and one unit of weight during transportation, in substance unit of measure can be assigned to each ship via in Transport Emissions window. But, when different amounts of parts are transported in different deliveries, how emissions per part can be estimated?

Therefore only the supplier to factory part of the life-cycle is considered for this. When adding values in the basic data (eg: Emissions per Distance and Weight Unit etc..), the values could probably be estimated standard values (eg: When ship-via is by air, the emissions are standard estimates for air cargo transportation). The application then calculates the values based on the requirement of the component parts, quantities and parameters for suppliers.
Hope this helps !

Yes. it seems impossible to estimate emissions associated with deliveries performed by a manufacturer to customers.
I Still have a thing to be cleared, when supplier to factory emissions are calculated. Total emissions associated with an actual shipment is a result of total distance covered by the ship (if it is sea transport). There may be many parts included in that shipment. To estimate, emissions associated with one particular part, we need to know total number of parts and a breakdown of parts. Then we can do some divisions to find out proportional emissions associated with one part. Do you have any idea about this?
