You can see all rejected filings in the "Filings _> Rejected Filings" menu. The XBRL portal distinguishes between two types of errors that prevent the successful submission of a filing:
- Filings that cannot be "identified" for various reasons are automatically rejected and cannot be further processed in the XBRL portal.
- Filings that can be assigned but still contain XBRL validation errors are accepted and, if configured, given the status "Rejected (not valid)". Since these can also be technical errors leading to the deactivation of validation rules, it does not make sense to "reject" these filings.
If the filing could not be clearly assigned to a reporting requirement, it is displayed under "Rejected Filings". To view the rejected filings, click on "Filings → Rejected filings".
Rejected filings are submissions that have been automatically rejected by the XBRL portal. Reasons for rejection are:
- Unknown entities
- Unknown or non-existent taxonomies
- Unexpected due date
- Wrong file formats (not ZIP, not XBRL)
- Duplicate filings (when a filing is resubmitted)
- Corresponding reporting requirement does not exist
- Corresponding reporting requirement is inactive
- Insufficient permissions
Rejected filings can be filtered in the same way as submitted and open filings, by entities and due dates. As soon as you click on the "Show" button under "Reason of Refusal", a new window appears, where you can see the reason for the rejection. You can switch back and forth between error messages, warnings and information.
