Background and Basis of Present

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Background and Basis of Presentation | Background and Basis of Presentation Background Avaya Holdings Corp. (the "Parent" or "Avaya Holdings"), together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Avaya"), is a global leader in digital communications products, solutions and services for businesses of all sizes. Avaya builds open, converged and innovative solutions to enhance and simplify communications and collaboration in the cloud, on-premises or a hybrid of both. The Company's global team of professionals delivers services from initial planning and design, to implementation and integration, to ongoing managed operations, optimization, training and support. Currently, the Company manages its business operations in two segments, Products & Solutions and Services. The Company sells directly through its worldwide sales force and indirectly through its global network of channel partners, including distributors, service providers, dealers, value-added resellers, system integrators and business partners that provide sales and services support. Basis of Presentation Avaya Holdings has no material assets or standalone operations other than its ownership of Avaya Inc. and its subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2019 and for the six months ended March 31, 2019 , the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 , and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 , reflect the operating results of Avaya Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 , included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 21, 2018. In management's opinion, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods indicated. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the periods reported. These estimates include assessing the collectability of accounts receivable, sales returns and allowances, the use and recoverability of inventory, the realization of deferred tax assets, business restructuring reserves, pension and post-retirement benefit costs, the fair value of equity compensation, the fair value of assets and liabilities in connection with fresh start accounting as well as those acquired in business combinations, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets including goodwill, the amount of exposure from potential loss contingencies, and fair value measurements, among others. The markets for the Company's products are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological development and frequent new product introductions, all of which could affect the future recoverability of the Company's assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Actual results may differ from these estimates. During the six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment to correct sales and marketing expense. The impact resulted in a $5 million increase to Selling, general and administrative expense and a decrease to net income of $3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019 . Management concluded that the correction was not material to any previously issued consolidated financial statements or to the six months ended March 31, 2019 . The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. On January 19, 2017 (the "Petition Date"), Avaya Holdings, together with certain of its affiliates, namely Avaya CALA Inc., Avaya EMEA Ltd., Avaya Federal Solutions, Inc., Avaya Holdings LLC, Avaya Holdings Two, LLC, Avaya Inc., Avaya Integrated Cabinet Solutions Inc. (n/k/a Avaya Integrated Cabinet Solutions LLC), Avaya Management Services Inc., Avaya Services Inc., Avaya World Services Inc., Octel Communications LLC, Sierra Asia Pacific Inc., Sierra Communication International LLC, Technology Corporation of America, Inc., Ubiquity Software Corporation, VPNet Technologies, Inc. and Zang, Inc. (n/k/a Avaya Cloud Inc.) (the "Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for relief (the "Bankruptcy Filing") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The cases were jointly administered as Case No. 17-10089 (SMB). The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Company's Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Avaya Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates filed on October 24, 2017 (the "Plan of Reorganization") on November 28, 2017. Confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization resulted in the discharge of certain claims against the Company that arose before the Petition Date and terminated all rights and interests of equity security holders as provided for in the Plan of Reorganization. The Debtors operated their businesses as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court until the Plan of Reorganization was substantially consummated and they emerged from bankruptcy on December 15, 2017 (the "Emergence Date"). On the Emergence Date, the Company applied fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements after the Emergence Date, are not comparable with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on or before that date. References to "Successor" or "Successor Company" relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Avaya Holdings after the Emergence Date. References to "Predecessor" or "Predecessor Company" refer to the financial position and results of operations of Avaya Holdings on or before the Emergence Date. |

This standard clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The Company adopted this standard as of October 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, however, the future impact of the standard will depend on the nature of any future acquisitions or dispositions made by the Company. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash." This standard requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard as of October 1, 2018 applying the retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption resulted in an increase of Net cash used for investing activities of $28 million and $21 million for the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), respectively. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This standard addresses the appropriate classification of certain cash flows as operating, investing, or financing. The Company adopted this standard as of October 1, 2018 applying the retrospective transition method to each accounting period presented. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASC 606"). This standard superseded most of the previous revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and is intended to improve and converge with international standards the financial reporting requirements for revenue recognition. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. The Company adopted ASC 606 as of October 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to all open contracts with customers that were not completed as of September 30, 2018 . Upon adoption of ASC 606, sales that include professional services, are generally recognized as the services are performed as opposed to upon completion and acceptance of the project. When such arrangements include products, products revenue is generally recognized when the products are delivered as opposed to upon completion and acceptance of the project. Additionally, for cloud and managed services arrangements pursuant to which the customer purchases and owns the solution and Avaya provides the software as a service ("SaaS"), control of the software generally transfers to the customer and the related revenue is recognized, at the point-in-time the SaaS commences. Revenue recognition related to stand-alone product shipments, maintenance services, and certain cloud offerings remains substantially unchanged. In addition to the impacts on revenue recognition, the standard requires incremental contract acquisition costs (primarily sales commissions) to be capitalized and amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of goods or services to which the asset relates. These costs were formerly expensed as incurred. The impact of adopting ASC 606 is dependent upon contract-specific terms and the Company has chosen to use the allowed practical expedient whereby, incremental contract acquisition costs with an amortization period of one year or less are expensed as incurred. On October 1, 2018 , the beginning of the Company's fiscal 2019 , the Company recorded a net increase to the opening Retained earnings balance of $92 million , net of tax, due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recorded a $3 million adjustment to correct the ASC 606 impact that was recorded to Retained earnings on October 1, 2018 . In connection with this adjustment, the Company also recorded an out-of-period adjustment during the six months ended March 31, 2019 to correct goodwill recognized upon the application of fresh start accounting, which resulted in a $2 million decrease to Contract liabilities and a $2 million decrease to Goodwill. Management concluded that these corrections were not material to previously issued consolidated financial statements and to the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 . The revised net increase to Retained earnings due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606 was $95 million , net of tax. The increase to Retained earnings included $97 million for the portion of the transaction price that would have been recognized as revenue under prior guidance (ASC "605"). These amounts will not be recognized as revenue in future periods and are primarily attributable to open contracts that contained professional services, both on a stand-alone basis and when sold together with hardware and software, for which revenue recognition was deferred until project completion under ASC 605. The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on the September 30, 2018 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was as follows: September 30, 2018 Upon Adoption of ASC 606 (In millions) As Reported Adjustments ASSETS Accounts receivable, net $ 377 $ (1 ) $ 376 Inventory 81 (24 ) 57 Contract assets — 78 78 Contract costs — 109 109 Other current assets 170 (66 ) 104 Property, plant and equipment, net 250 (1 ) 249 Deferred income taxes, net 29 (2 ) 27 Other assets 74 16 90 LIABILITIES Contract liabilities 484 (17 ) 467 Other current liabilities 148 4 152 Deferred income taxes, net 140 29 169 Other liabilities 374 (2 ) 372 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Retained earnings 287 95 382 For additional information refer to Note 3, "Revenue Recognition," for disclosures related to the adoption of ASC 606 and an updated accounting policy related to revenue recognition and contract costs. Recent Standards Not Yet Effective In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract." This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the new guidance will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." This standard modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans. This update removes disclosures that are not considered cost beneficial, clarifies certain required disclosures and adds additional disclosures. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in the standard need to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on its disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This standard modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing certain disclosures, modifying certain disclosures and adding additional disclosures. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Certain disclosures in the standard need to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on its disclosures. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This standard allows companies to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings any stranded tax benefits resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This standard, along with other guidance subsequently issued by the FASB, requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." This standard, along with other guidance subsequently issued by the FASB, requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The standard makes similar changes to lessor accounting and aligns key aspects of the lessor accounting model with the revenue recognition standard. Presentation of leases within the statements of operations and statements of cash flows will primarily depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standard using a modified retrospective approach in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and is continuing to evaluate the impact of this standard on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition On October 1, 2018 , the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective transition method. Accordingly, the impact of adoption is recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of October 1, 2018 and represents the difference between ASC 606 and ASC 605 applied to all open contracts with customers that were not completed as of September 30, 2018 . Under the modified retrospective method, results for reporting periods beginning after September 30, 2018 are presented under ASC 606 while prior period financial information is not adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with ASC 605. The Company elected to use the contract modification practical expedient whereby, all contract modifications for each contract before October 1, 2018 are aggregated and evaluated at the adoption date. Impact of ASC 606 on Financial Statement Line Items The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 by financial statement line item within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019 is as follows: March 31, 2019 (In millions) As Reported Adjustments Without Adoption of ASC 606 ASSETS Accounts receivable, net $ 300 $ 2 $ 302 Inventory 66 43 109 Contract assets 146 (146 ) — Contract costs 127 (127 ) — Other current assets 136 102 238 Property, plant and equipment, net 236 1 237 Deferred income taxes, net 26 2 28 Other assets 105 (13 ) 92 LIABILITIES Accounts payable 275 (1 ) 274 Contract liabilities 500 35 535 Other current liabilities 143 (9 ) 134 Deferred income taxes, net 160 (29 ) 131 Other liabilities 378 2 380 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Retained earnings 378 (134 ) 244 The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 by financial statement line item within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 is as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2019 Six months ended March 31, 2019 (In millions) As Reported Adjustments Without Adoption of ASC 606 As Reported Adjustments Without Adoption of ASC 606 REVENUE Products $ 287 $ (15 ) $ 272 $ 611 $ (45 ) $ 566 Services 422 (21 ) 401 836 (41 ) 795 709 (36 ) 673 1,447 (86 ) 1,361 COSTS Products: Costs 105 (3 ) 102 220 (9 ) 211 Amortization of technology intangible assets 44 — 44 87 — 87 Services 174 (7 ) 167 347 (13 ) 334 323 (10 ) 313 654 (22 ) 632 GROSS PROFIT 386 (26 ) 360 793 (64 ) 729 OPERATING EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative 251 (4 ) 247 508 4 512 Research and development 52 — 52 105 — 105 Amortization of intangible assets 41 — 41 81 — 81 Restructuring charges, net 4 — 4 11 — 11 348 (4 ) 344 705 4 709 OPERATING INCOME 38 (22 ) 16 88 (68 ) 20 Interest expense (58 ) — (58 ) (118 ) — (118 ) Other income, net 1 — 1 23 — 23 LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAXES (19 ) (22 ) (41 ) (7 ) (68 ) (75 ) Benefit from income taxes 6 11 17 3 29 32 NET LOSS $ (13 ) $ (11 ) $ (24 ) $ (4 ) $ (39 ) $ (43 ) The adoption of ASC 606 did not impact net cash provided by or used for operating, investing, or financing activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 31, 2019 . Revenue Recognition Policy The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of products and services for communications systems and applications. The Company sells directly through its worldwide sales force and indirectly through its global network of channel partners, including distributors, service providers, dealers, value-added resellers, systems integrators and business partners that provide sales and services support. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company accounts for a customer contract when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party’s rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is at least probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of the promised products and services to customers. Judgment is required in instances where the Company’s contracts include multiple products and services to determine whether each should be accounted for as a separate performance obligation. The Company enters into contracts that include various combinations of products and services, each of which is generally capable of being distinct as well as distinct within the context of the contracts. Customer contracts are typically made pursuant to purchase orders and statements of work based on master purchase or partner agreements. Invoicing typically occurs upon customer acceptance or monthly for a series of services. Payment is due based on the Company’s standard payment terms which is typically within 30 to 60 days of invoice issuance. The Company does not typically provide financing arrangements to customers. For certain services and customer types, customers will remit payment before the services are provided. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company determined that contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing products and services, not to receive financing from or to provide financing to customers. Certain contracts include performance obligations accounted for as a series which also include variable consideration (primarily usage-based fees). For these arrangements, variable consideration is not estimated and allocated to the entire performance obligation, rather the variable fees are recognized in the period in which the usage occurs in accordance with the "right to invoice" practical expedient. The total transaction price for each contract is determined based on the total consideration specified in the contract, including variable consideration such as sales incentives and other discounts. The expected value method is generally used when estimating variable consideration, which typically reduces the total transaction price due to the nature of the elements to which the variable consideration relates. These estimates reflect the Company’s historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying patterns. The Company excludes from the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both (i) imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and (ii) collected from customers. Accordingly, such tax amounts are not included as a component of net sales or cost of sales. The expected value method requires judgment and considers multiple factors that may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation. Depending on the facts and circumstances, a change in variable consideration estimate will either be accounted for at the contract level or using the portfolio method, in accordance with the prescribed practical expedient. Reserves for contractual stock rotation rights to channel partners to support the management of inventory and certain other sales incentives are determined using the portfolio method. The Company also considers the customers’ rights of return in determining the transaction price where applicable. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price and recognizes revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company uses a range of selling prices to estimate standalone selling price when each of the products and services is sold separately. The Company typically has more than one standalone selling price for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances. In these instances, the Company may use information such as the size of the customer and geographic region in determining the standalone selling price. In instances where standalone selling price is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, the Company determines the standalone selling price using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities are considered contract fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation of the contract. Shipping and handling fees are recorded as revenue and the related cost is a cost to fulfill the contract. Contract modifications are accounted for as separate contracts if the additional products and services are distinct and priced at standalone selling prices. If the additional products and services are distinct, but not priced at standalone selling prices, the modification is treated as a termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract. Lastly, if the additional products and services are not distinct within the context of the contract, the modification is combined with the original contract and either an increase or decrease in revenue is recognized on the modification date. Software The Company’s software licenses provide users with access to capabilities such as voice, video, conferencing, messaging and collaboration. Software licenses also add functionality to the Company’s hardware. The Company’s software licenses for on-premise customer software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when it is made available to the customer and are accounted for as distinct performance obligations. The Company’s software licenses are sold through both direct and indirect channels with terms that are either perpetual or time based, both of which provide the end-user with the same functionality. The main difference between perpetual and term licenses is the duration over which the customer benefits from the software. Revenue from on-premise customer software licenses is generally recognized at the point-in-time the software is made available to the customer, via direct sale to the end-user or indirect sale to a channel partner, based on the fixed minimum revenue commitment under the arrangement. However, revenue cannot be recognized before the beginning of the period during which the customer can use and benefit from the license. In instances where the Company’s software licenses include a usage-based fee, revenue associated with the incremental usage is recognized at the point-in-time the incremental usage occurs. Hardware The Company’s hardware, phones, gateways, and servers, each of which has a stand-alone functionality, are generally considered distinct performance obligations. Hardware is sold through both direct and indirect channels and revenue is recognized at the point-in-time at which control of the product is transferred to the customer, via direct sale to the end-user or indirect sale to a channel partner, generally upon delivery, as defined in the contract. Global Support Services The Company’s global support services provide supplemental maintenance options to end-users in support of the Company’s products and solutions, including when and if available upgrade rights and maintenance for hardware. These services are typically accounted for as distinct performance obligations. Given that global support services consist of a series of distinct promises that are satisfied over time in the form of a single performance obligation comprised of a stand-ready obligation, these services are generally recognized ratably over the period during which the services are performed as customers simultaneously consume and receive benefits. Maintenance contracts typically have terms that range from one to five years. Professional Services The Company’s professional services include the design, implementation and development of communication solutions. Professional services are sold through the Company’s direct and indirect channels either on a stand-alone basis or with other hardware, software and services and are generally accounted for as distinct performance obligations. Revenue for professional services is generally recognized over time based on the cost of effort incurred to date relative to the total cost of effort expected to be incurred as customers simultaneously consume and receive benefits. Effort incurred generally represents work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby best depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Contracts for professional services typically have terms that range from four to six weeks for simple engagements and from six months to one year for more complex engagements. Cloud and Managed Services The Company’s managed services provide additional support options to end-users on top of the Company’s supplemental maintenance services, including hardware support, help-desk routing and system monitoring services. The Company’s managed services are sold either on a stand-alone basis or together with the Company’s hardware, software and other services, and are generally accounted for as distinct performance obligations. The Company’s managed services are provided through both direct and indirect channels. Managed services consist of a series of distinct promises that are satisfied over time in the form of a single performance obligation comprised of a stand-ready obligation. Contracts for managed services typically have terms that range from one to five years. The Company’s cloud offerings enable customers to take advantage of our technology via the cloud, on-premises, or a hybrid of both. The software that enables the core communications functionality is offered both as a sale of perpetual or time based licenses or through a SaaS. Cloud offerings can include supplemental maintenance and managed services and are sold through the Company’s direct and indirect channels. Cloud and managed services offerings consist of a series of distinct promises that are satisfied over time as a single performance obligation and are generally recognized ratably over the period during which the services are performed as customers simultaneously consume and receive the benefits. The amount allocated to each performance obligation is based on the fixed contractual amount, which is recognized ratably over the period during which the services are performed as customers simultaneously consume and receive benefits. Variable consideration from incremental usage above the fixed fee is recognized at the point-in-time at which the usage occurs. Warranties The Company offers standard limited warranties that provide the customer with assurance that its products will function in accordance with contract specifications. The Company’s standard limited warranties are not sold separately but are included with each customer purchase. Warranties are not considered separate performance obligations, and therefore, warranty expense is accrued at the time the related revenue is recognized. Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables provide the Company's disaggregated revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 : (In millions) Three months ended March 31, 2019 Six months ended March 31, 2019 REVENUE Products & Solutions $ 289 $ 615 Services 425 847 Unallocated Amounts (5 ) (15 ) $ 709 $ 1,447 Three months ended March 31, 2019 (In millions) Products & Solutions Services Unallocated Total Revenue: U.S. $ 130 $ 248 $ (3 ) $ 375 International: Europe, Middle East and Africa 93 96 (1 ) 188 Asia Pacific 37 43 (1 ) 79 Americas International - Canada and Latin America 29 38 — 67 Total International 159 177 (2 ) 334 Total revenue $ 289 $ 425 $ (5 ) $ 709 Six months ended March 31, 2019 (In millions) Products & Solutions Services Unallocated Total Revenue: U.S. $ 280 $ 499 $ (10 ) $ 769 International: Europe, Middle East and Africa 199 190 (2 ) 387 Asia Pacific 75 84 (2 ) 157 Americas International - Canada and Latin America 61 74 (1 ) 134 Total International 335 348 (5 ) 678 Total revenue $ 615 $ 847 $ (15 ) $ 1,447 Unallocated amounts represent the fair value adjustment to deferred revenue recognized upon emergence from bankruptcy and excluded from segment revenue. Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations that are wholly or partially unsatisfied as of March 31, 2019 is $2.7 billion , of which 55% and 27% is expected to be recognized within 12 months and 13-24 months, respectively, with the remaining balance recognized thereafter. This excludes amounts for remaining performance obligations that are (1) for contracts recognized over time using the "right to invoice" practical expedient, (2) related to sales or usage based royalties promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property, and (3) related to variable consideration allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Contract Balances The Company records a contract asset when revenue is recognized in advance of the right to bill, pursuant to customer contract terms. The contract asset decreases when the Company has the right to bill the customer which is generally triggered by the satisfaction of additional performance obligations or contract milestones. The Company records a contract liability when payment is received from the customer in advance of the Company satisfying a performance obligation and the contract liability is reduced as performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is recognized. The Company records the net contract asset or liability position for each customer contract. The following table provides information about accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities for the periods presented: (In millions) March 31, 2019 October 1, 2018 Increase (Decrease) Accounts receivable, net $ 300 $ 376 $ (76 ) Contract assets: Current $ 146 $ 78 $ 68 Non-current (Other assets) 3 3 — $ 149 $ 81 $ 68 Cost of obtaining a contract: Current (Contract costs) $ 84 $ 64 $ 20 Non-current (Other assets) 48 36 12 $ 132 $ 100 $ 32 Cost to fulfill a contract: Current (Contract costs) $ 43 $ 45 $ (2 ) Contract liabilities: Current $ 500 $ 467 $ 33 Non-current (Other liabilities) 69 52 17 $ 569 $ 519 $ 50 The change in contract assets and contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s satisfaction of a performance obligation and the timing of the payment from the customer. Accounts receivable are recorded when the customer has been billed or the right to consideration is unconditional. The Company recognizes a contract asset when it transfers products and services to a customer in advance of scheduled billings. Contract assets decrease when the Company invoices the customer or the right to receive consideration is unconditional. The Company did not record any asset impairment charges related to contract assets during the six months ended March 31, 2019 . Contract liabilities are recorded when the Company receives payment from the customer in advance of the Company’s completion of performance obligation(s). During the six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recognized revenue of $396 million that had been recorded as a Contract liability at October 1, 2018 . Contract Costs The Company capitalizes direct and incremental costs incurred to obtain and to fulfill a contract, such as sales commissions and products and services, respectively. These costs are recognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover them and are amortized consistent with the transfer to the customer of the underlying performance obligations. Costs to obtain a contract are amortized using the portfolio approach over the average term of the customer contracts, which corresponds to the period of benefit. Costs incurred to obtain a contract with an amortization period of one year or less are expensed as incurred, in accordance with the prescribed practical expedient. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recognized $24 million for amortization of costs to obtain customer contracts, of which $23 million was included in Selling, general and administrative expense and the remaining $1 million was a reduction to Revenue. For the six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recognized $46 million for amortization of costs to obtain customer contracts, of which $43 million was included in Selling, general and administrative expense and the remaining $3 million was a reduction to Revenue. Contract fulfillment costs are recognized consistent with the transfer to the customer of the underlying performance obligations based on the specific contracts to which they relate. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recognized $6 million and $20 million of contract fulfillment costs within Costs, respectively. |

Business Combinations | Business Combinations Spoken Communications On March 9, 2018 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired Intellisist, Inc. ("Spoken"), a United States-based private technology company, which provides cloud-based Contact Center as a Service solutions and customer experience management and automation applications. The total purchase price was $172 million , consisting of $157 million in cash, $14 million in contingent consideration and a $1 million settlement of Spoken’s net payable to the Company which mainly related to services provided by the Company to Spoken under a co-development partnership prior to the acquisition. Upon the achievement of three specified performance targets ("Earn-outs"), the Company is required to pay up to $16 million of contingent consideration to Spoken's former owners and employees and up to $4 million in discretionary earn-out bonuses ("Earn-out Bonuses") to Spoken employees who have contributed to the achievement of the Earn-outs. The fair value of the Earn-outs at the Acquisition Date was $14 million , which was calculated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model and is remeasured to fair value at each subsequent reporting period. The Earn-out Bonuses, which are intended to incentivize continuing employees to assist in achieving the Earn-outs, are excluded from the acquisition consideration and are recognized as compensation expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ratably over the estimated Earn-out periods. During the six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company paid $11 million and $2 million for Earn-outs and Earn-out Bonuses, respectively, related to the achievement of two of the three Earn-out targets. The third Earn-out target is expected to be completed and the corresponding Earn-out and Earn-out Bonuses are expected to be paid by the Company during the remainder of fiscal 2019. As of March 31, 2019 , the fair value of the Earn-out liability was $5 million . In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $117 million , which has been assigned to the Products & Solutions segment, identifiable intangible assets with a fair value of $64 million , and other net liabilities of $9 million . The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the potential that the Spoken technology, cloud platform and assembled workforce will accelerate the Company's growth in cloud-based solutions. The Company has determined that the goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The acquired intangible assets of $64 million included technology and patents of $56 million with a weighted average useful life of 4.9 years , $5 million of in-process research and development ("IPR&D") activities, which are considered indefinite lived until projects are completed or abandoned, and customer relationships of $3 million with a weighted average useful life of 7.5 years . During the six months ended March 31, 2019 , certain IPR&D activities have been completed and are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of 5.0 years . Spoken became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on March 9, 2018. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the financial results of the operations of Spoken beginning on March 9, 2018. Spoken’s revenue and operating loss included in the Company’s results for the six months ended March 31, 2019 , was $5 million and $13 million , respectively. As of March 31, 2019, the Company finalized its purchase accounting for the Spoken acquisition. |

Business Restructuring Reserves and Programs | Business Restructuring Reserves and Programs For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (Successor), the Company recognized restructuring charges of $4 million and $40 million , respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2019 (Successor), the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), the Company recognized restructuring charges of $11 million , $50 million and $14 million , respectively. The restructuring charges include changes in estimates for increases and decreases in costs or changes in the timing of payments related to the restructuring programs of prior fiscal years. The Company's restructuring charges generally include separation charges which include, but are not limited to, termination payments, pension fund payments, and health care and unemployment insurance costs to be paid to, or on behalf of, the affected employees; and lease obligation charges. As the Company continues to evaluate opportunities to streamline its operations, it may identify cost savings globally and take additional restructuring actions in the future and the costs of those actions could be material. The Company does not allocate restructuring reserves to its operating segments. Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Program Recognized restructuring charges for the fiscal 2019 restructuring program included employee separation costs associated with employee severance actions primarily in the U.S., Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Canada, for which the related payments are expected to be completed by fiscal 2021 .

On June 18, 2018, the Company amended the Term Loan Credit Agreement to reduce interest rates and to reduce the London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") floor that existed under the original agreement from 1.00% to 0.00% . For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 , the Company recognized interest expense of $50 million , $100 million , $47 million and $56 million , respectively, related to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, including the amortization of discounts and issuance costs. Under the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company can issue letters of credit up to $150 million . At March 31, 2019 , the Company had issued and outstanding letters of credit and guarantees of $46 million . As of March 31, 2019 , the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL. The aggregate additional principal amount that may be borrowed under the ABL Credit Agreement, based on the borrowing base less $46 million of outstanding letters of credit and guarantees, was $142 million at March 31, 2019 . Convertible Notes On June 11, 2018, the Company issued its 2.25% Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million (including the underwriters’ exercise in full of an over-allotment option of $50 million ), which mature on June 15, 2023 (the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes were issued under an indenture, by and between the Company and the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company N.A., as Trustee. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recognized interest expense of $6 million and $12 million related to the Convertible Notes, which includes $4 million and $8 million of amortization of the underwriting discount and issuance costs, respectively. The net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes for the periods indicated was as follows: (In millions) March 31, 2019 September 30, 2018 Principal $ 350 $ 350 Less: Unamortized debt discount (80 ) (87 ) Unamortized issuance costs (6 ) (7 ) Net carrying amount $ 264 $ 256 The weighted average contractual interest rate of the Company’s outstanding debt as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was 6.5% and 6.4% , respectively. The effective interest rate for the Term Loan Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2019 was not materially different than its contractual interest rate including adjustments related to hedging. The effective interest rate for the Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2019 was 9.2% reflecting the separation of the conversion feature in equity. The effective interest rates include interest on the debt and amortization of discounts and issuance costs. For the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), contractual interest expense of $94 million was not recorded as interest expense, as it was not an allowed claim under the Bankruptcy Filing. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company was not in default under any of its debt agreements. Capital Lease Obligations Included in Other liabilities is $23 million and $31 million of capital lease obligations, net of imputed interest as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," ("ASC 815") and does not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Interest Rate Contracts The Company, from time-to-time, enters into interest rate swap contracts as a hedge against changes in interest rates on its variable rate loans outstanding. On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with six counterparties, which fixed a portion of the variable interest due under its Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "Swap Agreements"). Under the terms of the Swap Agreements, which mature on December 15, 2022 , the Company pays a fixed rate of 2.935% and receives a variable rate of interest based on one-month LIBOR. As of March 31, 2019 , the total notional amount of the six Swap Agreements was $1,800 million . The Swap Agreements are designated as cash flow hedges as they are deemed highly effective as defined under ASC 815. As a result, the unrealized gains or losses on these contracts are initially recorded as Accumulated other comprehensive income in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As interest expense is recognized on the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the corresponding deferred gain or loss on the interest rate swaps is reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Based on the amount in Accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2019 , approximately $10 million would be reclassified into net income in the next twelve months as interest expense. It is management's intention that the notional amount of interest rate swaps be less than the variable rate loans outstanding during the life of the derivatives. Foreign Exchange Contracts The Company, from time-to-time, utilizes foreign currency forward contracts primarily to hedge fluctuations associated with certain monetary assets and liabilities including receivables, payables and certain intercompany obligations. These foreign currency forward contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded as a component of Other income (expense), net to offset the change in the value of the hedged assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company maintained open foreign exchange contracts with a total notional value of $87 million , hedging the British Pound Sterling, Czech Koruna, Australian Dollar and Hungarian Forint. The Company did not maintain any foreign currency forward contracts during the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) or the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor). Emergence Date Warrants In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,645,200 shares of Company common stock to the holders of the Predecessor second lien obligations pursuant to a warrant agreement ("Emergence Date Warrants"). Each Emergence Date Warrant has an exercise price of $25.55 per share and expires December 15, 2022 . The Emergence Date Warrants contain certain derivative features that require them to be classified as a liability and for changes in the fair value of the liability to be recognized in earnings each reporting period. On November 14, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved a warrant repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $15 million worth of the Emergence Date Warrants. None of the Emergence Date Warrants have been exercised or repurchased as of March 31, 2019 . The fair value of the Emergence Date Warrants was determined using a probability weighted Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires certain input assumptions including risk-free interest rates, volatility, expected life and dividend rates. Selection of these inputs involves significant judgment. The fair value of the Emergence Date Warrants as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was determined using the input assumptions summarized below: March 31, 2019 September 30, 2018 Expected volatility 56.10 % 50.14 % Risk-free interest rates 2.20 % 2.90 % Expected remaining life (in years) 3.71 4.21 Price per share of common stock $16.83 $22.14 In determining the fair value of the Emergence Date Warrants, the dividend yield was assumed to be zero as the Company does not anticipate paying dividends. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company's derivatives on a gross basis segregated between those that are designated as hedging instruments and those that are not designated as hedging instruments: March 31, 2019 September 30, 2018 (In millions) Balance Sheet Caption Asset Liability Asset Liability Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments: Interest rate contracts Other assets $ — $ — $ 3 $ — Interest rate contracts Other current liabilities — 10 — 7 Interest rate contracts Other liabilities — 36 — — — 46 3 7 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Foreign exchange contracts Other current liabilities — 1 — — Emergence Date Warrants Other liabilities — 13 — 34 — 14 — 34 Total derivative fair value $ — $ 60 $ 3 $ 41 The following table provides information regarding the location and amount of pre-tax losses for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges: Three months ended Six months ended (In millions) Interest Expense Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Interest Expense Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Financial Statement Line Item in which Cash Flow Hedges are Recorded $ (58 ) $ 8 $ (118 ) $ (12 ) Impact of cash flow hedging relationships: Loss recognized in AOCI - on interest rate swaps — (16 ) — (47 ) Interest expense from AOCI reclassified (2 ) 2 (5 ) 5 The following table provides information regarding the pre-tax gains (losses) for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations: Successor Predecessor Three months ended March 31, 2019 Three months ended March 31, 2018 Six months ended March 31, 2019 Period from December 16, 2017 Period from (In millions) Location of Derivative Pre-tax Gain (Loss) Emergence Date Warrants Other income (expense), net $ 3 $ (10 ) $ 21 $ (15 ) $ — Foreign exchange contracts Other income (expense), net — — — — — The Company records its derivatives on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Intangible Assets, Net (Excluding Goodwill) [Abstract] | |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with GAAP at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the Company’s operating segments. The Company has five reporting units, all of which are subject to impairment testing annually or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. As a result of lower than planned financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company evaluated whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of one or more reporting units is below the respective carrying amount. As a result of this evaluation, the Company determined that an interim impairment test was not required. However, if conditions deteriorate further or if changes in key assumptions and estimates differ significantly from management’s expectations, the Company will reassess its conclusion and it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future. Intangible Assets Intangible assets include technology and patents, customer relationships and trademarks and trade names. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets. Intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate an asset may be impaired. The Company determined that no events occurred or circumstances changed during the six months ended March 31, 2019 that would indicate that its finite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable or that it is more likely than not that its indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. However, if conditions deteriorate or there is a change in the business, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future. The Company's intangible assets consist of the following for the periods indicated: (In millions) Customer Trademarks Total Balance as of March 31, 2019 Finite-lived intangible assets: Cost $ 962 $ 2,157 $ 43 $ 3,162 Accumulated amortization (222 ) (202 ) (6 ) (430 ) Finite-lived intangible assets, net 740 1,955 37 2,732 Indefinite-lived intangible assets 2 — 332 334 Intangible assets, net $ 742 $ 1,955 $ 369 $ 3,066 Balance as of September 30, 2018 Finite-lived intangible assets: Cost $ 959 $ 2,157 $ 43 $ 3,159 Accumulated amortization (135 ) (124 ) (3 ) (262 ) Finite-lived intangible assets, net 824 2,033 40 2,897 Indefinite-lived intangible assets 5 — 332 337 Intangible assets, net $ 829 $ 2,033 $ 372 $ 3,234 Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (Successor) was $85 million and $81 million , respectively. Amortization expense for the six months ended March 31, 2019 (Successor), the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor) was $168 million , $95 million and $13 million , respectively. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Fair Value Hierarchy The accounting guidance for fair value measurements also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are prioritized into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable. Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were as follows: March 31, 2019 September 30, 2018 Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Measurements Using (In millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Investments $ 2 $ 2 $ — $ — $ 2 $ 2 $ — $ — Interest rate contracts — — — — 3 — 3 — Total assets $ 2 $ 2 $ — $ — $ 5 $ 2 $ 3 $ — Liabilities: Interest rate contracts $ 46 $ — $ 46 $ — $ 7 $ — $ 7 $ — Foreign exchange contracts 1 — 1 — — — — — Spoken acquisition Earn-outs 5 — — 5 15 — — 15 Emergence Date Warrants 13 — — 13 34 — — 34 Total liabilities $ 65 $ — $ 47 $ 18 $ 56 $ — $ 7 $ 49 Investments Investments classified as Level 1 assets are priced using quoted market prices for identical assets in active markets that are observable. Investments are recorded in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest rate and foreign exchange contracts Interest rate and foreign exchange contracts classified as Level 2 assets and liabilities are not actively traded and are valued using pricing models that use observable inputs. Spoken acquisition Earn-outs The Spoken acquisition Earn-outs classified as Level 3 liabilities are measured using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. Significant unobservable inputs, which included probability of the achievement of the earn out targets and discount rate assumption, reflected the assumptions market participants would use in valuing these liabilities. Emergence Date Warrants Emergence Date Warrants classified as Level 3 liabilities are priced using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (Successor), the six months ended March 31, 2019 (Successor), the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or into and out of Level 3. The following table summarizes the activity for the Company's Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: (In millions) Emergence Date Warrants Spoken Acquisition Earn-outs Total Balance as of September 30, 2018 $ 34 $ 15 $ 49 Change in fair value (1) (21 ) 1 (20 ) Settlement — (11 ) (11 ) Balance as of March 31, 2019 $ 13 $ 5 $ 18 (1) Changes in fair value of the Emergence Date Warrants are included in Other income (expense), net. Changes in fair value of the Spoken acquisition Earn-outs are included in Selling, general and administrative expense. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes was determined based on the quoted price of the Convertible Notes in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period and has been classified as Level 2. The estimated fair values of amounts borrowed under the Company's other financing arrangements at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were estimated based on a Level 2 input based on a market approach utilizing market-clearing data on the valuation date in addition to bid/ask prices. The estimated fair values of the amounts borrowed under the Company’s financing agreements at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 are as follows: March 31, 2019 September 30, 2018 (In millions) Principal amount Fair value Principal amount Fair value Term Loan Credit Agreement due December 15, 2024 $ 2,888 $ 2,881 $ 2,903 $ 2,932 Convertible 2.25% senior notes due June 15, 2023 350 324 350 357 Total debt $ 3,238 $ 3,205 $ 3,253 $ 3,289 |

The Company's effective income tax rate for the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) differed from the U.S. federal tax rate primarily due to: (1) income and losses taxed at different foreign tax rates, (2) losses generated within certain foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit was recorded because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (3) non-U.S. withholding taxes on foreign earnings, (4) current period changes to unrecognized tax positions, (5) U.S. state and local income taxes, (6) an increase in estimated current year tax loss, which is eliminated as part of the attribute reduction related to the cancellation of indebtedness income ("CODI"), and (7) the impact of the Act. The Company's effective income tax rate for the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor) differed from the U.S. federal tax rate primarily due to: (1) income and losses taxed at different foreign tax rates, (2) losses generated within certain foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit was recorded because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (3) non-U.S. withholding taxes on foreign earnings, (4) current period changes to unrecognized tax positions, (5) U.S. state and local taxes, and (6) the impact of reorganization and fresh start adjustments. The Company's U.S. federal net operating loss ("NOL") and tax credits have been eliminated due to the recognition of CODI in fiscal 2018 . During fiscal 2018 , the Company centralized the management and ownership of certain intellectual property in a U.S. limited partnership, some of which was previously managed and owned by a Bermuda tax resident corporation. This action resulted in the utilization and recognition of previously unrecognized NOLs, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities established as part of fresh start accounting and the recognition of a deferred tax asset, cumulatively in the amount of $366 million . On December 22, 2017, the Act was signed into law. The Act lowered the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company has a September 30th tax year-end and therefore many of the tax law changes became effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 . The Company has made a policy decision to treat GILTI income as a period cost. The Company benefits from the deduction attributable to FDII and has taxable income attributable to GILTI, both of which impact the effective tax rate. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, Avaya completed its analysis of the impact of the Act as required by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 issued by the SEC on December 22, 2017. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Benefit Obligations | Benefit Obligations The Company sponsors non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering a portion of its U.S. employees and retirees, and post-retirement benefit plans covering a portion of its U.S. employees and retirees that include healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage. Certain non-U.S. operations have various retirement benefit programs covering substantially all of their employees. Some of these programs are considered to be defined benefit pension plans for accounting purposes. The components of the pension and post-retirement net periodic benefit (credit) cost for the periods indicated are provided in the table below: Successor Predecessor (1) (In millions) Three months ended March 31, 2019 Three months ended March 31, 2018 Six months ended March 31, 2019 Period from December 16, 2017 Period from Pension Benefits - U.S. Components of net periodic benefit (credit) cost Service cost $ 1 $ 1 $ 2 $ 1 $ 1 Interest cost 9 9 19 10 22 Expected return on plan assets (15 ) (16 ) (30 ) (18 ) (38 ) Amortization of actuarial loss — — — — 20 Net periodic benefit (credit) cost $ (5 ) $ (6 ) $ (9 ) $ (7 ) $ 5 Pension Benefits - Non-U.S. Components of net periodic benefit cost Service cost $ 1 $ 2 $ 3 $ 2 $ 2 Interest cost 3 2 5 2 3 Expected return on plan assets — — — — (1 ) Amortization of actuarial loss — — — — 2 Net periodic benefit cost $ 4 $ 4 $ 8 $ 4 $ 6 Post-retirement Benefits - U.S. Components of net periodic benefit cost Service cost $ 1 $ — $ 1 $ — $ — Interest cost 4 3 7 3 3 Expected return on plan assets (3 ) (2 ) (5 ) (2 ) (2 ) Amortization of prior service cost — — — — (3 ) Amortization of actuarial loss — — — — 2 Net periodic benefit cost $ 2 $ 1 $ 3 $ 1 $ — (1 ) Excludes Plan of Reorganization related settlements that were recorded in Reorganization items, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The service components of net periodic benefit (credit) cost were recorded similar to compensation expense, while all other components were recorded in Other income (expense), net. The Company's general funding policy with respect to its U.S. qualified pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy the minimum amount required by applicable law and regulations, or to directly pay benefits where appropriate. Contributions to U.S. pension plans were $18 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019 , which represented the amounts required to satisfy the minimum statutory funding requirements in the U.S. For the remainder of fiscal 2019 , the Company estimates that it will make contributions totaling $9 million to satisfy the minimum statutory funding requirements in the U.S. Contributions to the non-U.S. pension plans were $16 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019 . For the remainder of fiscal 2019 , the Company estimates that it will make contributions totaling $9 million for its non-U.S. plans. Most post-retirement medical benefits are not pre-funded. Consequently, the Company makes payments directly to the claims administrator as retiree medical benefit claims are disbursed. These payments are funded by the Company up to the maximum contribution amounts specified in the plan documents and contract with the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and contributions from the participants, if required. During the six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company made payments for retiree medical and dental benefits of $7 million and received a $3 million reimbursement from the represented employees' post-retirement health trust related to payments in prior periods. The Company estimates it will make contributions for retiree medical and dental benefits totaling $7 million for the remainder of fiscal 2019 . |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation Successor The Company has a share-based compensation plan under which non-employee directors, employees of the Company or any of its affiliates, and certain consultants and advisors may be granted stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance awards ("PRSUs") and other forms of awards granted or denominated in shares of the Company's common stock, as well as certain cash-based awards. Stock options and RSUs granted to employees generally vest ratably over a period of three years . PRSUs granted to certain senior executive employees vest at the end of the service period of three years. Awards granted to non-employee directors during fiscal 2019 vest immediately, while those granted during fiscal 2018 vested ratably over one year . As of the Emergence Date, forfeitures are accounted for as incurred. Pre-tax share-based compensation expense for three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $5 million and $5 million , respectively. Pre-tax share-based compensation expense for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 was $11 million and $6 million , respectively. During the six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company granted 1,464,125 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $15.21 per RSU. During the six months ended March 31, 2019 , there were 899,097 RSUs that vested with a weighted average grant date fair value of $15.47 . In February 2019, the Company granted 274,223 PRSUs with a grant date fair value of $11.18 per PRSU. These PRSUs will become eligible to vest if prior to the vesting date of February 11, 2022, the average closing price of one share of the Company’s Common Stock for sixty consecutive days equals or exceeds $23.50 . The grant date fair value of the award was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that incorporated multiple valuation assumptions, including the probability of achieving the specified market condition. Additional assumptions used in the valuation included an expected volatility of 53.76% based on a blend of Company and peer group company historical data adjusted for the Company’s leverage, and a risk-free interest rate of 2.45% based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term equal to the vesting period. The grant date fair value of these PRSUs will be recognized as expense ratably over the vesting period and will not be adjusted in future periods for the success or failure to achieve the specified market condition. In February 2019, the Company also granted 182,020 PRSUs which will vest based on the attainment of specified performance metrics for each of the next three separate fiscal years (collectively the "Performance Period"), and the Company's total shareholder return over the Performance Period as compared to the total shareholder return for a specified index of companies over the same period. The grant date fair value of the awards was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that incorporated multiple valuation assumptions, including the probability of achieving the total shareholder return market condition. Other key assumptions used in the valuation included an expected volatility of 53.00% based on a blend of Company and peer group company historical data adjusted for the Company’s leverage, and a risk free interest rate of 2.46% based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term equal to the remaining Performance Period as of the grant date. During the Performance Period, the Company will adjust compensation expense for the awards based on its best estimate of attainment of the specified annual performance metrics. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated number of PRSUs that are expected to be earned during the Performance Period will be recognized as an adjustment to earnings in the period of the revision. Based on the Company's most recent forecast as of March 31, 2019 , the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards was $3 million . Predecessor Prior to the Emergence Date, the Predecessor Company had granted share-based awards that were canceled upon emergence from bankruptcy. In conjunction with the cancellation, the Predecessor Company accelerated the unrecognized share-based compensation expense and recorded $3 million of compensation expense in the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 , principally reflected in Reorganization costs, net. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share | Per Common Share Basic (loss) earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if equity awards granted under the Company's various share-based compensation plans were vested or exercised; if the Company's Convertible Notes or the warrants the Company sold to purchase up to 12.6 million shares of its common stock in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes ("Call Spread Warrants") were exercised; and/or if the Emergence Date Warrants were exercised, resulting in the issuance of common shares that would participate in the earnings of the Company. The following table sets forth the calculation of net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders and the computation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share for the periods indicated: Successor Predecessor (In millions, except per share amounts) Three months ended March 31, 2019 Three months ended March 31, 2018 Six months ended March 31, 2019 Period from December 16, 2017 Period from (Loss) earnings per share: Numerator Net (loss) income $ (13 ) $ (130 ) $ (4 ) $ 107 $ 2,977 Dividends and accretion to preferred stockholders — — — — (6 ) Undistributed (loss) income (13 ) (130 ) (4 ) 107 2,971 Percentage allocated to common stockholders (1) 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 86.9 % Numerator for basic and diluted (loss) earnings per common share $ (13 ) $ (130 ) $ (4 ) $ 107 $ 2,582 Denominator Denominator for basic (loss) earnings per weighted average common shares 110.8 109.8 110.5 109.8 497.3 Effect of dilutive securities Restricted stock units — — — 1.0 — Denominator for diluted (loss) earnings per weighted average common shares 110.8 109.8 110.5 110.8 497.3 (Loss) earnings per common share Basic $ (0.12 ) $ (1.18 ) $ (0.04 ) $ 0.97 $ 5.19 Diluted $ (0.12 ) $ (1.18 ) $ (0.04 ) $ 0.96 $ 5.19 (1) Basic weighted average common stock outstanding 110.8 109.8 110.5 109.8 497.3 Basic weighted average common stock and common stock equivalents (preferred shares) 110.8 109.8 110.5 109.8 572.4 Percentage allocated to common stockholders 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 86.9 % For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company excluded 1.0 million stock options, 3.5 million RSUs, 0.5 million PRSUs and 5.6 million Emergence Date Warrants from the diluted loss per share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The Company’s Convertible Notes and Call Spread Warrants were also excluded for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 as discussed in more detail below. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company excluded 1.1 million stock options, 3.5 million restricted stock units and 5.6 million Emergence Date Warrants from the diluted loss per share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 , the Company excluded 1.1 million stock options, 0.1 million restricted stock units and 5.6 million Emergence Date Warrants from the diluted earnings per share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For purposes of considering the Convertible Notes in determining diluted (loss) earnings per share, the Company has the ability and current intent to settle conversions of the Convertible Notes through combination settlement by repaying the principal portion in cash and any excess of the conversion value over the principal amount (the "Conversion Premium") in shares of the Company's common stock. Therefore, only the impact of the Conversion Premium will be included in diluted weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Since the Convertible Notes were out of the money and anti-dilutive as of March 31, 2019 , they were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 . The Call Spread Warrants will not be considered in calculating diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price of $37.3625 per share. When the price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price per share of the Call Spread Warrants, the effect of the additional shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Call Spread Warrants will be included in diluted weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Operating Segments | Segments The Products & Solutions segment primarily develops, markets, and sells unified communications and contact center solutions, offered on premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid solution. These integrate multiple forms of communications, including telephony, email, instant messaging and video. The Services segment develops, markets and sells comprehensive end-to-end global service offerings that enable customers to evaluate, plan, design, implement, monitor, manage and optimize complex enterprise communications networks. The Company’s chief operating decision maker makes financial decisions and allocates resources based on segment profit information obtained from the Company’s internal management systems. Management does not include in its segment measures of profitability selling, general, and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and certain discrete items, such as fair value adjustments recognized upon emergence from bankruptcy, charges relating to restructuring actions, impairment charges, and merger-related costs as these costs are not core to the measurement of segment performance, but rather are controlled at the corporate level.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings General The Company records accruals for legal contingencies to the extent that it has concluded that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. No estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued, if any, can be made at this time regarding the matters specifically described below because the inherently unpredictable nature of legal proceedings may be exacerbated by various factors, including: (i) the damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate; (ii) discovery is not complete; (iii) the proceeding is in its early stages; (iv) the matters present legal uncertainties; (v) there are significant facts in dispute; (vi) there are a large number of parties (including where it is uncertain how liability, if any, will be shared among multiple defendants); or (vii) there is a wide range of potential outcomes. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in litigation, claims, government inquiries, investigations and proceedings, including, but not limited to, those identified below, relating to intellectual property, commercial, employment, environmental and regulatory matters. Based on the Company's experience, management believes that the damages amounts claimed in a case are not a meaningful indicator of the potential liability. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of cases. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses in connection with its current lawsuits and material claims and disputes. In the opinion of the Company's management based upon information currently available to the Company, while the outcome of these lawsuits, claims and disputes is uncertain, the likely results of these lawsuits, claims and disputes are not expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although the effect could be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for any interim reporting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (Successor), the six months ended March 31, 2019 (Successor), and the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor), there were no costs incurred in connection with the resolution of legal matters other than those incurred in the ordinary course of business. During the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), costs incurred in connection with the resolution of certain legal matters was $37 million . Intellectual Property and Commercial Disputes In January 2010, SAE Power Incorporated and SAE Power Company (collectively, "SAE") filed a complaint in the New Jersey Superior Court asserting various claims including breach of contract, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing arising out of Avaya’s relationship with SAE as a supplier of various power supply products. SAE has since asserted additional claims against Avaya for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, misappropriation of trade secrets and civil conspiracy. SAE seeks to recover for alleged losses stemming from Avaya’s termination of its power supply purchases from SAE, including for Avaya’s alleged disclosure of SAE’s alleged trade secret and/or confidential information to another power supply vendor. On July 19, 2016, the Court entered an order granting Avaya’s motion for partial summary judgment, dismissing certain of SAE’s claims regarding the alleged disclosure of trade secrets. In January 2017, the Company filed a Notice of Suggestion of Pendency of Bankruptcy, which informed the Court of the Company’s voluntary bankruptcy petition filing and stay of proceedings. SAE filed a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy Court. On September 28, 2017, the Company filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking to estimate SAE’s claim, and the estimation hearing took place on February 15, 2018. On June 12, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order estimating SAE’s pre-petition misappropriation claim in the amount of $1.21 million plus interest, its fraud claim at $0 million and declined to estimate SAE’s breach of contract claim, leaving it to be resolved through the bankruptcy claims allowance process. Once the stay of proceedings is lifted, SAE may pursue its liability claims against Avaya in the New Jersey state court action, subject to the estimation Order of the Bankruptcy Court. On June 22, 2018, SAE filed a Notice of Appeal challenging the estimation Order, which was denied by the United States District Court on May 6, 2019. SAE may elect to appeal the judgment. This matter, although not yet closed, will receive distribution in accordance with the general unsecured claims procedure in the Company's Plan of Reorganization. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in litigation alleging it has infringed upon third parties’ intellectual property rights, including patents and copyrights; some litigation may involve claims for infringement against customers, distributors and resellers by third parties relating to the use of Avaya’s products, as to which the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope to certain parties. The Company is also involved in litigation pertaining to general commercial disputes with customers, suppliers, vendors and other third parties including royalty disputes. These matters are ongoing and the outcomes are subject to inherent uncertainties. As a result, the Company cannot be assured that any such matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Product Warranties The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated costs that may be incurred to remedy certain deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over a specified period of time, generally ranging up to two years from the date of sale depending upon the product subject to the warranty. The Company accrues a provision for estimated future warranty costs based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales. The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of its product warranties and adjusts, if necessary, the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve, which is included in other current and non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for actual experience. As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the amount reserved was $1 million and $2 million , respectively. Guarantees of Indebtedness and Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Letters of Credit and Guarantees The Company provides guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds to various parties as required for certain transactions initiated during the ordinary course of business to guarantee the Company's performance in accordance with contractual or legal obligations. As of March 31, 2019 , the maximum potential payment obligation with regards to letters of credit, guarantees and surety bonds was $66 million . The outstanding letters of credit are collateralized by restricted cash of $4 million included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019 . Purchase Commitments and Termination Fees The Company purchases components from a variety of suppliers and uses several contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for its products. During the normal course of business, to manage manufacturing lead times and to help assure adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers that allow them to produce and procure inventory based upon forecasted requirements provided by the Company. If the Company does not meet these specified purchase commitments, it could be required to purchase the inventory, or in the case of certain agreements, pay an early termination fee. Historically, the Company has not been required to pay a charge for not meeting its designated purchase commitments with these suppliers, but has been obligated to purchase certain excess inventory levels from its outsourced manufacturers due to actual sales of product varying from forecast and due to transition of manufacturing from one vendor to another. The Company’s outsourcing agreements with its most significant contract manufacturers automatically renew in July and September for successive periods of twelve months each, subject to specific termination rights for the Company and the contract manufacturers. All manufacturing of the Company’s products is performed in accordance with either detailed requirements or specifications and product designs furnished by the Company, and is subject to rigorous quality control standards. Transactions with Nokia Pursuant to the Contribution and Distribution Agreement effective October 1, 2000 (the "Contribution and Distribution Agreement"), Lucent Technologies, Inc. (now Nokia) contributed to the Company substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations associated with its enterprise networking businesses (the "Company’s Businesses") and distributed the Company’s stock pro-rata to the shareholders of Lucent ("distribution"). The Contribution and Distribution Agreement, among other things, provides that, in general, the Company will indemnify Nokia for all liabilities including certain pre-distribution tax obligations of Nokia relating to the Company’s Businesses and all contingent liabilities primarily relating to the Company’s Businesses or otherwise assigned to the Company. In addition, the Contribution and Distribution Agreement provides that certain contingent liabilities not allocated to one of the parties will be shared by Nokia and the Company in prescribed percentages. The Contribution and Distribution Agreement also provides that each party will share specified portions of contingent liabilities based upon agreed percentages related to the business of the other party that exceed $50 million . The Company is unable to determine the maximum potential amount of other future payments, if any, that it could be required to make under this agreement. In addition, in connection with the distribution, the Company and Lucent entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement effective October 1, 2000 (the "Tax Sharing Agreement") that governs Nokia’s and the Company’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes for the periods ending on or before the distribution. Generally, pre-distribution taxes or benefits that are clearly attributable to the business of one party will be borne solely by that party and other pre-distribution taxes or benefits will be shared by the parties based on a formula set forth in the Tax Sharing Agreement. The Company may be subject to additional taxes or benefits pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement related to future settlements of audits by state and local and foreign taxing authorities for the periods prior to the Company’s separation from Nokia. |
