Introduction

Use this article when the validation report contains the message:

The year reported for 'FinancialReportingPeriod' MUST be equal to the year reported in 'FinancialReportingPeriodEndDate'.

This message indicates that the reporting year configured in the iXBRL General Data does not match the reporting period end date.

Summary

After following these steps, the reporting year and reporting period dates are aligned and the validation message is resolved.

Overview

The iXBRL General Data contains information about the reporting period of the filing.

The value entered for Financial Reporting Period must correspond with the year of the configured Financial Reporting Period End Date.
