Finance LOB Process

Finance sends charge codes to HR & Contractor Employee submits time sheet for project   HR submits time to finance  Contractor submits invoice to finance Project gets cost info from finance    Project updates dashboard   Business intelligence asks for summary information

about project   

Web Services with XBRL

Map domain specific elements to standard XBRL-GL Taxonomy elements

Use SOAP Envelope to transmit XBRL Instance Documents

XBRL linkbases provide calculation and formula based validation

XBRL Value Proposition

Provide a solution to gather data in a non-proprietary data hub for consolidation and reporting, maintaining the context for reuse and analysis Not tied to a specific solution provider or software

vendor to access or use the information Significantly reduces reporting time

Use of XBRL in the Finance LOB

Finance LOB Sample Process

Contractor’s invoice comes into the XBRL adapter ContractorInvoice

web service in a proprietary XML format A standard XBRL GL instance document is generated and sent to

the XBRL Finance System in a SOAP envelope. Invoices are stored in the Finance System and then summarized in

an XBRL FR instance document that is sent via SOAP to the Program LOB through the ProgramCostAssignment service  

The Business Intelligence LOB asks for summary information from the Program LOB
