Questions

What does NetCashProvidedByUsedInOperatingActivities mean in XBRL?

us-gaap:NetCashProvidedByUsedInOperatingActivities is the XBRL concept for “Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities”. The taxonomy defines it as: Amount of cash inflow (outflow) from operating activities, including discontinued operations. Operating activity cash flows include transactions, adjustments, and changes in value not defined as investing or financing activities.

Why do two companies use different revenue concepts?

Companies choose the most specific concept for what they report. Since ASC 606 many use RevenueFromContractWithCustomerExcludingAssessedTax rather than Revenues, so a cross-company revenue series has to check several concepts.

Why can the same period appear in several filings?

Comparative periods are repeated in later reports and sometimes restated. companyfacts keeps every observation with its accession number; this page shows the most recently filed value per period.
