Hi all,
I used ArelleGUI to open an .zip file (has all the required .xsd/.xml files) for a company with 10K filing (working on KO now) which views all info perfectly and I was able to successfully write to the postgres XBRL-US Public Database (which seems to store much more info than its Abstract relational database counterpart).

Now, I got the Schema diagram of the postgres db, but I'm unable to generate any financial statement that I can see om ArelleGUI. 

The schema is a start but I couldn't fully understand to know where each pieces of information required to build say Income Statement is.

Could anyone help?

To build the financial statements one needs to use the EdgarRenderer plugin, the database has facts abstracted to a point where associating facts to statements is difficult and would need the Edgar Renderer algorithmic code to do it completely correctly.

As EdgarRenderer is now part of Arelle, we are redesigning the database to capture the statement information in the next database version.
