Clausion 21.12 Release Notes

New Features and Other Improvements

Clausion ESEF Reporting Tool 21.12 with Clausion versions 20.1.1–21.11

Feature ID: FD-2072

version 21.12 includes changes to Clausion ESEF Reporting Tool. The most critical change is the possibility to create the instance document with combination anchoring (extension element anchored to a narrower core taxonomy element in addition to a wider one). 

The Clausion ESEF Reporting Tool version may be used with also older Clausion versions, the oldest supported version being 20.1.1. Update to such an old version includes replacing the Clausion.ESEFReportingTool.AddIn.xlam file in the DR installation directory of the user's workstation with the new file. 

Clausion ESEF Reporting Tool: Additional labels, combination anchoring and abstract extension elements

Feature ID: FD-60

It is possible to define a row on the Extension sheet which has wording "/**Ref" in column A. This kind of a column is intended to be used in two cases:

  1. Define additional labels for a certain ElementName
  2. Create anchoring relationships for type "combination"

Examples for these two cases are below. It is recommended to leave all other columns empty for /**Ref rows, extension element dg:FlightEquipment is defined normally by filling in the required columns.

Example for combination anchoring:

ElementName AnchoringWider
dg:FlightEquipment ifrs-full:PropertyPlantAndEquipment
/**Ref ifrs-full:ContractualCapitalCommitments dg:FlightEquipment
/**Ref ifrs-full:AuthorisedCapitalCommitmentsButNotContractedFor dg:FlightEquipment

In the above example extension element dg:FlightEquipment is defined to be a combination of IFRS elements ifrs-full:ContractualCapitalCommitments and ifrs-full:AuthorisedCapitalCommitmentsButNotContractedFor. It is also a narrower in meaning and/or scope compared to ifrs-full:PropertyPlantAndEquipment.

Example for additional labels:

ElementName Lang=en Lang=fi PreferredLabel
dg:FlightEquipment Total flight equipment Lentokalusto yhteensä Total
/**Ref dg:FlightEquipment Flight equipment Lentokalusto Standard
/**Ref dg:FlightEquipment The fleet and other machinery
directly associated with aviation
Laivasto ja muut koneet, jotka
ovat suoraan yhteydessä
lentämiseen
Documentation

In the above example the extension element dg:FlightEquipment is only presented as a line with total wording, so it requires a standard label as well (to comply ESEF RTS). The reporter has additionally defined more information about the contents of the element in a documentation label.

In addition it is now widely possible to create instance without abstract extension elements as recommended by ESMA. In previous version the Clausion ESEF Reporting Tool required in some cases defining these abstract elements, and validation e.g. in Arelle gave feedback on that these SHOULD NOT be included.

Corrected Known Issues

Issue ID Issue Resolution
FD-2447 An empty unit list for an open breakdown cannot be reported

Previously it was not possible to create a valid instance document for entry point TOLT, if any of the tables were empty (no units to be generated to the list).

The issue has now been fixed. Validation for the selected unit has been removed and the user can save open breakdown without selecting the unit. Thereafter the XBRL instance document can be generated. The XBRL instance document can also be generated for other generate types, in which no unit is generated.

FD-1627 Clausion Web Client: Save to file option not working after drill-down by rows

Previously, saving to file after row drill-down from a report sheet did not work. The issue has now been fixed, and the Save to File option after drilling down to rows from the report sheet is working fine.
