I am trying to perform a LCA for a product of my company, and as there are already verified EPDs of some components of my product, i imported them with the hope to easily use the informations of the EPD. But when i add the flow of the EPD as an input, i dont get the environmental influences of the EPD added to my LCA.

We'll explain this in the handbook, you need to use the results (for LC stages typically) that are part of an EPD, as input into your own product system, not the EPD itself, which is covering the full life cycle.
