| Description: | A mapping rule is a rule that explains how a base taxonomy concept relates to a fundamental accounting concept. |
| Commentary: | A mapping rule is very similar to, and might actually be exactly like, a Type/Class Rule. For example, if you wanted to extract information from a report related to 'Net Cash Flow' (fac:NetCashFlow), any of these concepts might be used: us-gaap:CashAndCashEquivalentsPeriodIncreaseDecrease, us-gaap:CashPeriodIncreaseDecrease, us-gaap:CashAndCashEquivalentsPeriodIncreaseDecreaseExcludingExchangeRateEffect. Mapping rules tell you WHAT concept to look for, IN ORDER. |
