Calculation report basics
The calculation report follows the same structure as the document’s XBRL outline.
Here are what the report colors mean:
| Color of Total | Result | Meaning |
| Green | Valid | The reported XBRL fact value is correct and complete because it is consistent with the sum of the contributing concepts. |
| Orange (warning) |
Invalid inconsistency or valid inconsistency |
Invalid inconsistency happens when one or more of the contributors is missing from the calculation. When one or more contributors is missing, it can be an invalid. Invalid inconsistencies can be resolved by updating the XBRL calculation. Valid inconsistencies cannot be resolved due to limitations around XBRL. Valid inconsistency happens when the total’s XBRL fact value is inconsistent with its calculated value. Possible causes for this inconsistency are a value for a contributor is missing, inconsistent dates are applied, or it has inconsistent members. Verify that all facts that should be included in the calculation are tagged appropriately and that the calculation includes all contributors. Fact values that have an axis and member applied will be excluded from the calculation of the total concept. This is a limitation of XBRL, and does not indicate that the relationship between the concepts being calculated is invalid. If the relationships between the concepts is intentional, this is a valid inconsistency and can be marked correct in the XBRL Validation results. |
| Red (error) |
Inconsistency | All contributors are present, but there is a calculation inconsistency. Check for the following:

Calculation Inconsistency warning
Orange calculation warnings and red calculation errors will trigger SEC validation warnings. We recommend that filers address these calculation warnings and errors, then mark any remaining SEC validation warnings as correct for valid inconsistencies. For more information on how to mark as correct, see About XBRL Validations.
