Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, or “Applied”) as of March 31, 2017 , and the results of its operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016 . Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 . Change in Accounting Principle - Share-based Payment Awards In March 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the accounting for share-based payment awards. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-09, simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification on the statement of cash flows, and accounting for forfeitures. This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The new standard requires prospective recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies resulting from stock-based compensation awards vesting and exercises be recognized in the income statement. Previously, these amounts were recognized in additional paid-in capital. Net excess tax benefits of $1,264 and $1,982 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 , respectively, were recognized as a reduction of income tax expense. In addition, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be prospectively excluded from the assumed future proceeds in the calculation of diluted shares, resulting in an insignificant increase in diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 , which did not have a material impact on earnings per share. The Company has elected to continue to estimate the number of stock-based awards expected to vest, as permitted by ASU 2016-09, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. The standard requires that excess tax benefits from share based compensation awards be reported as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Previously, these cash flows were included in financing activities. We have elected to apply this change on a prospective basis, resulting in an increase in net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in financing activities of $1,264 and $1,982 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 , respectively. ASU 2016-09 requires that employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes be reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Previously, these cash flows were included in operating activities. This change was required to be applied on a retrospective basis. As such, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the prior periods were revised. This change resulted in an increase in net cash provided by operating activities and in net cash used in financing activities of $937 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 . Change in Accounting Principle - Debt Issue Costs In April 2015, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the presentation of debt issue costs. This standard, issued as ASU 2015-03, requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying value of the debt, rather than as an asset. This update is effective for annual financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As required, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and has applied the new standard retrospectively. The retrospective adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in the reclassification as of June 30, 2016 of unamortized debt issue costs of $105 from other current assets to a reduction of current portion of long-term debt and $399 from other assets to a reduction of long-term debt on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Change in Accounting Principle - Measurement-period Adjustments for Business Combinations In September 2015, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the accounting for measurement-period adjustments for business combinations. This standard, issued as ASU 2015-16, requires that an entity that is the acquirer in a business combination that identifies adjustments to provisional amounts during the measurement period to recognize those adjustments in the reporting period in which the amounts are determined. This update further requires that the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and is applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this update, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. Inventory The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing U.S. inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory determination. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance In May 2014, the FASB issued its final standard on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the measurement of inventory. This standard, issued as ASU 2015-11, specifies that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The new standard does not apply to inventory that is measured using LIFO; therefore, it is not applicable to the Company's U.S. inventory values, but does apply to the Company's foreign inventories which are valued using the average cost method. The update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with earlier application permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on accounting for leases. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-02, requires that an entity that is a lessee recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The core principle of this update is that a "lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases." This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with earlier application permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-13, requires that an entity measure impairment of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments within the statement of cash flows. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-15, makes a number of changes meant to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In October 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-16, requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs and eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. This standard, issued as ASU 2017-04, eliminates step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and instead requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This update is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will apply this guidance prospectively to its annual and interim goodwill impairment tests and disclose the change in accounting principle. In March 2017, the FASB issued its final standard on improving the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. This standard, issued as ASU 2017-07, requires that an employer report the service cost component for defined benefit plans and postretirement plans in the same line item in the income statement as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. This update is effective for annual financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company has decided to early adopt this standard as of the beginning of fiscal 2018, and will apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented. The impact of the adoption of this guidance will result in the reclassification of the other components of net benefit cost from selling, distribution, and administrative expense to other (income) expense, net in the statements of consolidated income, resulting in an increase to operating income. There is no impact to income before income taxes or net income, so therefore no impact to net income per share. The amounts reclassified would result in an increase in operating income of $201 and $602 for three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 , respectively, and $242 and $724 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 , respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for both the Service Center Based Distribution segment and the Fluid Power Businesses segment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 and the nine month period ended March 31, 2017 are as follows: Service Centers Fluid Power Total Balance at July 1, 2015 $ 253,477 $ 929 $ 254,406 Goodwill acquired during the period 18,683 3,285 21,968 Impairment (64,794 ) — (64,794 ) Other, primarily currency translation (8,880 ) — (8,880 ) Balance at June 30, 2016 $ 198,486 $ 4,214 $ 202,700 Goodwill added during the period 3,220 625 3,845 Other, primarily currency translation (760 ) (444 ) (1,204 ) Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 200,946 $ 4,395 $ 205,341 On July 1, 2016, the Company enacted a change in its management reporting structure which changed the composition of the Canada service center reporting unit. This triggering event required the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test for the Canada service center reporting unit. The Company performed step one of the goodwill impairment test for the Canada service center reporting unit as of July 1, 2016 and determined that the reporting unit had excess fair value of approximately $8,000 or 5% when compared to its carrying amount of approximately $163,000 . In conjunction with this management change, $2,628 of goodwill was reallocated from the Canada service center reporting unit to the U.S. service center reporting unit based on the relative fair value as of July 1, 2016. The Company has six (6) reporting units for which an annual goodwill impairment assessment was performed as of January 1, 2017. The Company concluded that all of the reporting units’ fair value exceeded their carrying amounts by at least 20% as of January 1, 2017. The fair values of the reporting units in accordance with step one of the goodwill impairment tests were determined using the Income and Market approaches. The Income approach employs the discounted cash flow method reflecting projected cash flows expected to be generated by market participants and then adjusted for time value of money factors. The Market approach utilized an analysis of comparable publicly traded companies. The techniques used in the Company's impairment test incorporated a number of assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable and to reflect known market conditions at the measurement date. Assumptions in estimating future cash flows are subject to a degree of judgment. The Company makes all efforts to forecast future cash flows as accurately as possible with the information available at the measurement date. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions and overall forecasts by comparing projected results of upcoming years with actual results of preceding years. Key Level 3 based assumptions relate to pricing trends, inventory costs, customer demand, and revenue growth. A number of benchmarks from independent industry and other economic publications were also used. Changes in future results, assumptions, and estimates after the measurement date may lead to an outcome where impairment charges would be required in future periods. Specifically, actual results may vary from the Company’s forecasts and such variations may be material and unfavorable, thereby triggering the need for future impairment tests where the conclusions may differ in reflection of prevailing market conditions. Further, continued adverse market conditions could result in the recognition of impairment if the Company determines that the fair values of its reporting units have fallen below their carrying values. At March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 , accumulated goodwill impairment losses, subsequent to fiscal year 2002, totaled $64,794 related to the Service Center Based Distribution segment and $36,605 related to the Fluid Power Businesses segment. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017 , the Company recorded an adjustment to the preliminary estimated fair value of intangible assets related to the HUB acquisition. The fair values of the customer relationships and trade names intangible assets were decreased by $2,636 and $584 , respectively, with a corresponding total increase to goodwill of $3,220 . The changes to the preliminary estimated fair values resulted in a decrease to amortization expense of $156 during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 , which is recorded in selling, distribution and administrative expense on the condensed statements of consolidated income. The Company’s identifiable intangible assets resulting from business combinations are amortized over their estimated period of benefit and consist of the following: March 31, 2017 Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value Finite-Lived Identifiable Intangibles: Customer relationships $ 233,334 $ 96,969 $ 136,365 Trade names 43,646 18,440 25,206 Vendor relationships 14,046 8,784 5,262 Non-competition agreements 4,677 3,106 1,571 Total Identifiable Intangibles $ 295,703 $ 127,299 $ 168,404 June 30, 2016 Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value Finite-Lived Identifiable Intangibles: Customer relationships $ 239,132 $ 84,566 $ 154,566 Trade names 44,430 16,099 28,331 Vendor relationships 14,042 8,003 6,039 Non-competition agreements 4,700 2,396 2,304 Total Identifiable Intangibles $ 302,304 $ 111,064 $ 191,240 Amounts include the impact of foreign currency translation. Fully amortized amounts are written off. Due to continued softness in the upstream oil and gas industry, management also assessed long-lived intangible assets related to the Reliance asset groups for impairment during the first and third quarters of fiscal 2017. For the assessment in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the sum of the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying values of the Reliance U.S. and Reliance Canada asset groups of $15,657 and $80,228 , respectively, by 149% and 13% , respectively, therefore, no impairment was recognized. Changes in future results, assumptions, and estimates after the measurement date may lead to an outcome where impairment charges would be required in future periods. Specifically, actual results may vary from the Company’s forecasts and such variations may be material and unfavorable, thereby triggering the need for future impairment tests where the conclusions may differ in reflection of prevailing market conditions. Further, continued adverse market conditions could result in the recognition of impairment if the Company determines that the fair values of its intangible assets have fallen below their carrying values. Estimated future amortization expense by fiscal year (based on the Company’s identifiable intangible assets as of March 31, 2017 ) for the next five years is as follows: $6,200 for the remainder of 2017 , $22,400 for 2018 , $20,600 for 2019 , $18,800 for 2020 , $17,300 for 2021 and $14,900 for 2022 .

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Change in Accounting Principle - Share-based Payment Awards In March 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the accounting for share-based payment awards. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-09, simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification on the statement of cash flows, and accounting for forfeitures. This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The new standard requires prospective recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies resulting from stock-based compensation awards vesting and exercises be recognized in the income statement. Previously, these amounts were recognized in additional paid-in capital. Net excess tax benefits of $1,264 and $1,982 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 , respectively, were recognized as a reduction of income tax expense. In addition, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be prospectively excluded from the assumed future proceeds in the calculation of diluted shares, resulting in an insignificant increase in diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 , which did not have a material impact on earnings per share. The Company has elected to continue to estimate the number of stock-based awards expected to vest, as permitted by ASU 2016-09, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. The standard requires that excess tax benefits from share based compensation awards be reported as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Previously, these cash flows were included in financing activities. We have elected to apply this change on a prospective basis, resulting in an increase in net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in financing activities of $1,264 and $1,982 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 , respectively. ASU 2016-09 requires that employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes be reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Previously, these cash flows were included in operating activities. This change was required to be applied on a retrospective basis. As such, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the prior periods were revised. This change resulted in an increase in net cash provided by operating activities and in net cash used in financing activities of $937 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 . Change in Accounting Principle - Debt Issue Costs In April 2015, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the presentation of debt issue costs. This standard, issued as ASU 2015-03, requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying value of the debt, rather than as an asset. This update is effective for annual financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As required, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and has applied the new standard retrospectively. The retrospective adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in the reclassification as of June 30, 2016 of unamortized debt issue costs of $105 from other current assets to a reduction of current portion of long-term debt and $399 from other assets to a reduction of long-term debt on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Change in Accounting Principle - Measurement-period Adjustments for Business Combinations In September 2015, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the accounting for measurement-period adjustments for business combinations. This standard, issued as ASU 2015-16, requires that an entity that is the acquirer in a business combination that identifies adjustments to provisional amounts during the measurement period to recognize those adjustments in the reporting period in which the amounts are determined. This update further requires that the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and is applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this update, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Inventory The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing U.S. inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory determination.
Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	Recently Issued Accounting Guidance In May 2014, the FASB issued its final standard on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the measurement of inventory. This standard, issued as ASU 2015-11, specifies that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The new standard does not apply to inventory that is measured using LIFO; therefore, it is not applicable to the Company's U.S. inventory values, but does apply to the Company's foreign inventories which are valued using the average cost method. The update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with earlier application permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on accounting for leases. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-02, requires that an entity that is a lessee recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The core principle of this update is that a "lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases." This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with earlier application permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-13, requires that an entity measure impairment of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments within the statement of cash flows. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-15, makes a number of changes meant to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In October 2016, the FASB issued its final standard on the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This standard, issued as ASU 2016-16, requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs and eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. This update is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. This standard, issued as ASU 2017-04, eliminates step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and instead requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This update is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will apply this guidance prospectively to its annual and interim goodwill impairment tests and disclose the change in accounting principle. In March 2017, the FASB issued its final standard on improving the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. This standard, issued as ASU 2017-07, requires that an employer report the service cost component for defined benefit plans and postretirement plans in the same line item in the income statement as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. This update is effective for annual financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company has decided to early adopt this standard as of the beginning of fiscal 2018, and will apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented. The impact of the adoption of this guidance will result in the reclassification of the other components of net benefit cost from selling, distribution, and administrative expense to other (income) expense, net in the statements of consolidated income, resulting in an increase to operating income. There is no impact to income before income taxes or net income, so therefore no impact to net income per share. The amounts reclassified would result in an increase in operating income of $201 and $602 for three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 , respectively, and $242 and $724 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 , respectively.
