Digital Financial Reporting

Pacioli has a lot of new functionality.  One of the new features is the ability to import CSV.  You can try this out yourself by doing the following: 

1. Download this ZIP archive that contains 9 CSV files and put it somewhere on your local computer. (This has the PROOF representation.)
2. Go to this URL which allows you to Import into Pacioli.
3. Either copy and then paste or drag and then drop the files from your local computer into the import page above. (you can either upload the one ZIP file or each file individually, does not matter)
4. Press the "Import" button on the web page.
5. You will get (a) a validation report that shows everything is logically valid which you can download and (b) an XBRL instance, XBRL taxonomy schema, XBRL linkbases, and XBRL formulas that was generated from the CVS.  (The XBRL syntax is not dialed in yet, but it will get there very soon.)
6. Try these two other simpler examples to understand the import format: Accounting Equation | SFAC 6 Elements of Financial Statement
7. Modify the Proof, Accounting Equation, or SFAC 6 examples and try importing that.

You can create literally any XBRL-based financial report using CSV formatted similarly. We will document this to make it more understandable.  Clearly you would not want to hand create CSV files, that is not the point.  Luca also supports that same format using in the CSV.

Back to connecting the dots!
