Setting up your File
Now I'll show you how to set up your iXBRL file for conversion.
The sequence that we follow is:
Step 1:
Create a New Company, either manually or by Roll Forward
Step 2.
Add the Company details, set the Status, upload the AFS documents and select the applicable reports.
Step 3.
Begin Report Data process. This is simply copy/pasting from the AFS documents into the fields within iXBRLMate. You will generally start with the director's reports and income statements, then do the accounting policies and notes.
Step 4.
Validate your iXBRL file. You will use the CIPC Validation engine in our program to view any errors. The errors you see will be covered in the Common Errors section, please refer to that guide before contacting support.
Step 5.
If all has gone well with Validation, you can generate and download your iXBRL file. Please be aware that you can only download the file once payment has been made. Payment does not have to be made at the beginning of the process, you can complete the whole file before you pay for it.
Step 6.
Upload to CIPC!
If this sounds too complicated for you, please read through this manual for in-depth explanations of each process. If that still doesn't help you feel confident in your skills, please consider making use of our White Glove Service.
