The sign of the weight attribute is not appropriate

Example message:

The sign of the weight attribute '1.0' is not appropriate for the pair of the balance attributes 'credit' and 'debit' defined for the 'from' item '{http://xbrl.ifrs.org/taxonomy/2017-03-09/ifrs-full}ProfitLoss' and the 'to' item '{http://xbrl.ifrs.org/taxonomy/2017-03-09/ifrs-full}IncomeTaxExpenseContinuingOperations'.

According to the XBRL specification the weight attribute of an item in the calculation link must be either positive or negative according to the balance attribute of the element and the balance attribute of its parent element:

Balance attribute of parent element

 According to the example message, there is a credit item from the IFRS-taxonomy with the name “ProfitLoss”, which is the parent item of a debit item “IncomeTaxExpenseContinuingOperations” from the IFRS taxonomy. The weight attribute for this relation has the value 1.0, which is not within the range of valid values (a negative value or 0).

You can use the element declaration list’s filter on the left side of the window to find the element with the name “ProfitLoss”. By double clicking on it, all occurrences of this item are highlighted in the window in the center. You can change the item’s weight attribute by double clicking in the cell in the weight column.
