Only users with the Financial right 'File annual accounts Netherlands' are authorized to run this function.

 

The following subjects are explained below.

Tab: Balance sheet

Tab: Additional data (disclosures and signatures)

Creating declaration in XBRL file

Tab: Declaration (review and sending)

Declaration through a third party

 

Adding XBRL labels to a balance code table

The declaration will normally be made after the bookkeeping is ready and the balance in Mill7 is correct.

To be able to create a XBRL file suitable for the CoC the Mill7 balance must be mapped to pre-described XBRL balance codes in a balance code table.

 

Balance code tables are maintained with the function Maintenance > Financial> Balance codes.

The option 'Show CoC XBRL labels' in Maintenance > Settings > Book > Other will display extra columns on the 'Ranges and XBRL settings' tab of Maintenance > Financial> Balance codes. These two columns can be used in the Netherlands for the Chamber of Commerce XBRL declaration.

 

Press F4 in the XBRL {current declaration year} column to show a list with XBRL labels and names for business classes micro or small.

In this list the label names in the second column are presented in a logical sequence to use in the balance sheet.

The XBRL {previous declaration year} column can be maintained in the same way, but the links for the previous year have no part in the declaration for the current year. The column can be useful as a reference when filling in the links of the new declaration year.

 

The top level XBRL labels "Assets" and "Equity and Liabilities" should always be linked to top level sub-headers.

 

The "Assets" and "Equity and Liabilities" labels are divided into sub-labels.

As a general rule, these labels will be linked to lower levelled sub-headers.

 

Some XBRL sub-labels are subdivided further.

In most cases these detailed labels should be linked with balance codes, but they can also be linked with sub-headers.

When detail labels are present they should be linked with balance codes and not with the sub-headers at the higher levels.

 

Note

An XBRL label can be linked several times with different items of one table.

All balance codes with amounts must be linked with XBRL labels.

 When all balance codes of a sub-header should be linked with the same XBRL label, the XBRL label can be linked with the sub-header instead.

When an XBRL label is linked with a sub-header, no XBRL labels may be linked with the underlying balance codes.

When an XBRL label is linked with a balance code, no XBRL labels may be linked with the parent sub-headers.

 Furthermore, all sibling balance codes of the same parent sub-header should be linked to XBRL labels as well.

XBRL labels should not be linked to sub-headers and balance codes simultaneously.
