The increase (decrease) in cash, excluding cash equivalents, for an entity that has cash equivalents, but does not aggregate cash equivalents with cash on the balance sheet. For example, an entity that aggregates cash equivalents with investments discloses the balance of cash excluding cash equivalents on the balance sheet and the change in cash excluding cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. While for technical reasons this element has no balance attribute, the default assumption is a debit balance consistent with its label.
