Spend management - Fullfilling audit requirements

At Lune, we prioritise transparency in every step of our emissions calculations.

We strive to make it as easy as possible for your customers to fulfill any audit requirements they may have.

API response

Running a business involves many operational costs, and Lune is designed to calculate emissions for each one. Lune can process:Each API response provides key details to help you build trust with your customers. For every processed invoice line item, travel record, or transaction, you’ll see the selected emission_factor along with relevant details, such as:
  • The source of the emission factor
  • The publication year
  • A breakdown of gas emissions
Depending on the given input, the response may also include:
search_term_match
The determined category for the purchase, when not explicitly provided.
distance
The calculated distance for the estimate. Used in passenger transportation estimates.
Using these properties, you can display emission calculation details to customers directly… but we’ve made it even easier.Each response also includes two URLs that display details of the estimate calculation in an easy to understand, user-friendly interface:
  • external_estimate_url: A shareable link for your customers. This URL is generated when the client account has external_pages_visibility set to public, and the transaction has been completed, the travel has occurred, or the invoice has been issued.
  • dashboard_url: An internal link to your Lune dashboard, accessible only to you.
