Check for SEC-specific Restrictions Note that XBRL filings to the SEC are Interactive Data filings, the specifications of which are a subset of XBRL. As noted in the SEC specification at , "A valid Interactive Data instance is a valid XBRL 2.1 instance, but not all valid XBRL 2.1 instances are valid Interactive Data instances." Generic XBRL software can produce instances which are valid XBRL, but not valid as SEC filings. On the other hand, EDGARxbrl™ was developed specifically for SEC XBRL (Interactive Data) filings, and catches entries that may be valid XBRL but are not permitted by the SEC, such as: - Synonymous contexts and units
- Unused contexts and units
- Overlapping time periods, such as a quarter ending on the same day as the start of the next quarter
- Start-of-period time instants in contexts
- Use of forever in contexts
- Dimension items in an extension taxonomy
- Scenario elements in contexts
- Disallowed entity identifiers in contexts
- Required Document and Entity tags
- Syntax of text block notes containing HTML
- Many other SEC-specific validation checks
By not creating such constructs in the first place and catching them in filings prepared using other products, EDGARxbrl™ saves you time, money and effort while making it much easier to prepare 100% SEC-valid XBRL instances.
