If PcmtEmssnFctrSetItem exists then Scope 3 Emissions (tCO2e) = PcmtEmssnFctrSetItem.Total Scope 3 Emissions per Million Spent (tCO2e) * Trip Cost/1000000 + Supplemental Scope 3 Emissions

If GroundTravelEmssnFctr exists then
- If Distance AND DistanceUnit are valid
  - If Expense Type = “Personal Car Distance”, then Scope3EmissionsInTco2e = Distance (converted to miles) × GroundTravelEmssnFctr.Personal Car Emissions (kg CO2e/Distance Unit) (converted to miles if needed) / 1000 + Supplemental Scope 3 Emissions
  - If Expense Type = “Limousine” or “Taxi”, then Scope3EmissionsInTco2e = Distance (converted to miles) × GroundTravelEmssnFctr.Taxi Emissions (kg CO2e/Distance Unit) (converted to miles if needed) / 1000 + Supplemental Scope 3 Emissions
  - If Expense Type = “Subway/Train/Trolley - Cross State/Country” or “Subway/Train/Trolley - Local Public Transit”, then Scope3EmissionsInTco2e = Distance (converted to miles) × GroundTravelEmssnFctr.Train Emissions (kg CO2e/Distance Unit) (converted to miles if needed) / 1000 + Supplemental Scope 3 Emissions
- Else If Cost-Based Calculations (when Distance or DistanceUnit is NOT valid)
  - If Expense Type = “Limousine” or “Taxi”, then Scope3EmissionsInTco2e = [(Trip Cost /GroundTravelEmssnFctr.Taxi Rate (Cost/Distance Unit)) × GroundTravelEmssnFctr.Taxi Emissions (kg CO2e/Distance Unit) /1000 ] + Supplemental Scope 3 Emissions
