Current plugin version: 3.6.2 released July, 2017
The XBRL US Data Quality Committee has approved and published validation rules listed below to help public companies detect inconsistencies or errors in their XBRL-formatted financial data. The rules identify potential errors such as incorrect negative values, improper relationships between elements, and incorrect dates associated with certain data. The Committee approved these rules after considering comments received during a 60 day public review period.
The rules are freely available and can be accessed through XBRL service providers whose incorporation of the rules in their software tool has been approved by the XBRL US Center for Data Quality. When the rules identify a potential error, they provide detailed information on the potential error with guidance on how to correct it.

Guidance - Tagging
Guidance on Tagging Axis and Members Using the US GAAP Taxonomy
Current rule version: /master/gui (Nov 29, 2016)Certain axes in the US GAAP taxonomy should only have certain members, otherwise consumption of the data is adversely impacted because the resulting axis and member combinations are nonsensical, e.g., reporting a type of currency as a member on a debt instrument axis. The following guidance provides limitations on the use of certain axis and member combinations that should be adhered to when tagging financial information using the US GAAP Taxonomy.
