Flow Through Suppression on Statements

"Flow through" occurs when a fact is selected for display in more than one presentation group. One of the most common examples is that "Net Income" appears on both an income statement and a statement of cash flows.

Only presentation groups for which the "Type" token as described in 6.7.12 has the value "Statement" are subject to "flow through" suppression.

When a statement contains a column of facts that are all rendered in a column of some other presentation group, the column that is a subset of the other is removed (suppressed).

If columns in two statements have identical facts, then the column in the statement that appears first according to "SortCode" (6.7.12) is retained.

Number Name Description References Data Inputs Result Outputs
_000gd Two statements having common facts The first two statements overlap, but report 1 has facts for element B, and report 2 has facts for element C. Because of the sparse data, the first report only shows 2010 and 2009 data, while report 2 shows only 2011 and 2009 data. The output trace should say words to the effect: [info] In "Some Information", column(s) 1 are contained in other reports, so were removed by flow through suppression. [info] In "More Information", column(s) 2 are contained in other reports, so were removed by flow through suppression.
