iXBRL preview error for EPS values

[tassos_kapros]

Hello, we are using SAP DM 17.01 and we are facing an issue when previewing our ESEF report.

In our report we have some earnings per share amounts:

We have setup the EPS unit as:

<xbrli:unit id="EPS"><xbrli:divide><xbrli:unitNumerator><xbrli:measure>iso4217:EUR</xbrli:measure></xbrli:unitNumerator><xbrli:unitDenominator><xbrli:measure>xbrli:shares</xbrli:measure></xbrli:unitDenominator></xbrli:divide></xbrli:unit>

Inside the html document the value is:

<span class="dmspan dmtext001" style="font-size:9pt; left:28.86pt; top:0pt;"><ix:nonFraction name="ifrs-full:BasicEarningsLossPerShareFromContinuingOperations" contextRef="CYTD" unitRef="EPS" decimals="4" format="ixt:num-comma-decimal" scale="0">1,0720</ix:nonFraction>

</span>

In Arelle the value is:

But in preview, the value is strange and appeared as 1.0,720

Is it possible to correct this?

Thank you,

Tassos

Hi Tassos,

The normal procedure would be

- build the new previewer (using code on Github) with the NPM tool

- install this on server as outlined in https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2892134

However, this won't work on Stack 1700 (due to a bug in DM, it will always take the old ixbrlviewer.js )

For now, I would suggest

- install the latest version of Arelle locally on a machine (https://arelle.org/arelle/pub/)

- run the previewer locally as outlined in this wiki: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/CPM/DM+-+iXBRL+Preview+plugin

Hello Marc,

Thank you for your support.

Do you have an upgrade document for this process?

Thank you,

Hello tassos.kapros

You are using an old version of the previewer.

I tested with the SAP filing of 2020, and it shows OK

Note: I tested with your file and it works (won't show the images here)

You should upgrade the previewer; the latest version is 1.1.4
