Analysing orders with extended order reports

The extended order report contains detailed information about each order, such as order status, ECLASS key, manufacturer and a detailed breakdown of prices, including CO2 data and service fees.

How to access the extended order report

Web access setup
PunchOut setup

Log in to your account, go to ‘Account’ and click on ‘Order archive’.

Only the account admin has access to the order archive in the PunchOut setup, which can be accessed by logging into the Unite account via the web and following the process as described above. 

Content of the order report

In the extended order report, you’ll find details about every item ordered during the selected period, such as order number, item details, ECLASS, manufacturer, supplier number and so on. Additional information includes service fee data, CO2 data and a detailed price breakdown (unite price, net price).

Analysing service fee data

The service fee is charged on the net purchase price of the ordered items and is displayed in the report in column O as a value in your local currency.

Analysing and interpreting CO2 data

Open the export to access the greenhouse gas emissions data of your orders. The AC column lists the total CO2 emissions for each order in kilograms.

Don’t be confused by the term ‘CO 2 e data’ that appears later. This refers to greenhouse gases being measured in CO2 equivalents. To correctly interpret the data, first filter out any cancelled or unknown orders (Go to ‘Order status’ in column A – ‘Cancelled’ or ‘Unknown’). You can then use the result for your carbon accounting.

It’s important to note that the entries for freight costs don’t include CO 2 e data specific to product groups. This is because there is no direct correlation between prices and the greenhouse gas emissions of individual deliveries.

Track purchase decisions

Requesters can provide additional reasons for their decisions before submitting the shopping basket. The reasons will appear in the extended order report.

Please note: Admins of public organisations will also see a reason for the purchase decision.
