Generating an XBRL Report Package
Last updated on 2024-12-27
Overview
The iXBRL document, including all documents and folders prescribed by the regulatory authorities, can be generated in the XBRL document workspace.
In addition to the actual report, the XBRL Tagger creates Excel files that contain additional information on the document. Validations documented in an Excel file, for example, are performed during the generation process.
All results of the generation are displayed in the Result documents workspace and can be downloaded from there.
This article contains the following sections:
Creating an iXBRL Document
To create a valid iXBRL document with all tagged data:
- Go to the XBRL document workspace.
- Click Generate iXBRL report package in the Validate and Generate area.
Generating an iXBRL report package - The report is created together with four Excel files as a set of result documents.
- Switch to the Result documents workspace to download the report package or the created files.
Files in the Report Package
Even though the iXBRL file is an individual XHTML file, it is not enough to publish or submit only this file. A complete report package must be published instead.
The folder structure and the documents that must be published as an ESEF report package, with Company used as placeholder for the short name of the reporting unit, are described in the following table in the figure.
