SAP DM XBRL ENCONDING

Hi experts.

I have a new requirement of the regulatory entity:

In order to perform the proper construction of the document in XBRL format, it is required that the electronic file be used iso-8859-1 encoding. The ISO-8859-1 coding of the International Organization for Standardization defines the coding of the Latin alphabet, including diacritics (such as accented letters, ñ, ç), and special letters.

The header of the xbrl file will technically be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

I look on the configuration options of the Taxonomy report but there´s no option to choose ISO-8859-1

Or on xbrl instance.xml file just modify the header from:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

To

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Environment: DM 10.1 ST13

Any ideas of how to configure the ISO-8859-1 to my XBRL Report.

Hi Maria

I will follow up internally - it looks like there is little difference between utf-8 and iso-8859-1

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7048745/what-is-the-difference-between-utf-8-and-iso-8859-1

So, the workaround for now may simply be changing that tag inside the XBRL instance file

I will email you!
