Disclosure Management – iXBRL for ESEF
Since Disclosure Management Stack 1400 the application can generate iXBRL that will soon be required by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)
See: ESEF Becomes European Law
As creating iXBRL in Disclosure Management requires some specific setup, I have created this WIKI that explains the necessary steps.
I would welcome any feedback and suggestions on the content.
A useful resource is the following page – this shows how other companies use iXBRL and shows used extended taxonomies, context / unit setup etc.
Great wiki
Good Information, Thanks for sharing Marc!!
I appreciate your continuous efforts and hard work!!
Hi,
we've done all the steps included in the guide, but when we create the instance iXBRL, the report is generated correctly, but the content of the .zip file contains only a .txt file with the resume, but aby XBRL is generated.
Any suggestion?
Regards
Hi Daniel
First, checking if this is perhaps a archive (zip) problem
On the iXBRL instance, go to the 'revisions' tab
Do you see 2 files generated (instance and preview) and is the size reasonably large (e.g. 2 Mb +)

Hi,
When we create the instance, the execution looks fine:
But we only have one file:
Whn we download the file (.zip) it contains a .txt file with this content:
Período: ESMA
Informe: iXBRL ESMA Instance
Revisión: 24

Also if we review the log, there is a strange message:
Can be a problem with the plugins?
Thank you for your help.
Regards
Seems the issue is with the download...i.e. the real content is not downloaded
The screenshot shows that the instance was created OK
I suggest you open an OSS ticket on SMP
Hi,
Finally we can create the xbrl file. Another question, if we have different Excel reports, the mapping with the taxonomy must be only in one Excel or we can mapping in different reports to generate the xbrl file?

Good afternoon,
Thank you for the useful WIKI.
We have a doubt on the set up of the default dimension container.
Could you please confirm that the default dimension container should be set to Scenario (instead of Segment, page 15 of your WIKI), as indicated in section Guidance 2.1.3 Use of segment and scenario containers in the context elements of Inline XBRL documents of ESMA Reporting Manual https://www.esma.europa.eu/sites/default/files/library/esma32-60-254_esef_reporting_manual.pdf.pdf ?
Or should we set it as Segment and then use Scenario as the container when we build the taxonomy hypercubes?
Thank you in advance for your help
Hello Claudio
Yes, you are correct - it should be 'scenario' (as per guidance Guidance 2.1.3 in https://www.esma.europa.eu/sites/default/files/library/esma32-60-254_esef_reporting_manual.pdf.pdf )
I have corrected the Wiki
Marc
Thank you very much!
Claudia
