5.4 Disabled Validation Rules
The latest deactivated validation rules are available for download at the end of this article.
Regulators will periodically deactivate validation rules. Often this is in response to feedback received from filers which suggest the rule contradicts the reporting guidance issued. In this example, these rules are often immediately deactivated whilst the feedback is being investigated for correctness. The result of the investigation can result in the regulator reactivating or permanently deactivating the validation rule without releasing any change to the XBRL taxonomy.
Erroneous validations rules are often corrected in subsequent taxonomy releases at which point the rules can be re-activated.
Report Authority can exclude a list of disabled validation rules when validating reports. This ensures that the set of validation rules used when validating the report in Report Authority is the same as the set used in the regulators' submission gateway.
Automatic disabling of validation rules
Before any patch to Report Authority is released, the current list of disabled rules will be updated. This will result in the automatic updating of a document's list of disabled rules when it is re-opened in Report Authority.
Therefore if you have installed the most recent patch to Report Authority, you will unlikely ever to have to manually disable any validation rules.
If however, the regulator announces that they have updated their list of validations rules and you are not on the most recent version of Report Authority, you should consider to manually update your list of disabled rules.
