PARTS OF XBRL

- INSTANCE DOCUMENT: - Once the tagging of financial statement elements with the published taxonomy elements is done, the next step is to create the instance document. An instance document is a XML file that contains business reporting information and represents a collection of financial facts and report-specific information using tags from the XBRL taxonomy.
- VERIFICATION OF INSTANCE DOCUMENT BY XBRL VALIDATION TOOL :- Xbrl validation tool helps in validating the XBRL instance document. Validating the instance document is a pre requisite before filing & uploading.
- PRE-SCRUTINY OF THE VALIDATED INSTANCE DOCUMENT THROUGH THE XBRL VALIDATION TOOL: - Once the Xbrl validation tool successfully validates the instance document, the next step is to pre-scrutinise the validated instance document with the help of the same tool. For pre-scrutinizing the instance document, a working internet connection shall be required. In the Pre-scrutiny, the server side validations shall be performed.
