When preparing your documents for a new quarter, you can use the documents you've filed previously as a base for the new quarter's documents.
Rolling forward a BDC Schedule of Investments
- Copy the folder you want to roll forward in order to create the documents you will update for the roll forward process. For more information on copying a folder, see Copy a file or folder.
Because the copied documents are linked to the spreadsheet, XBRL will roll forward by copying the folder containing the previously-filed document(s). - After creating a document for the current period, update the spreadsheet followed by the linked 10-Q or 10-K document. For more information on linking, see Link and publish in Spreadsheets.
To add an investment, insert a new row in your spreadsheet and the document. To remove an investment, first remove any links in the row and then delete the row in the spreadsheet and document. This function should be performed individually for all investments that are added or removed.
- After adding investments, make sure to add any necessary links. Sub-cell linking should be performed where applicable (see interest column as an example), allowing inline XBRL to be applied appropriately. Updates to the linked sub-cell values should also be done in the spreadsheet.
Do not copy and paste over the schedule in the document, and make sure updates are made in the spreadsheet to preserve XBRL. Instead, add or remove a row to the applicable table in the linked 10-Q or 10-K document, then apply links from the spreadsheet to that row.
Failing to update as described above will cause XBRL to be disconnect and require a full re-tagging, which is outside the scope of full-service XBRL contracts and will incur extra charges. If you have any questions, please reach to your assigned Client Relationship Manager.
