Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Donaldson Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of earnings, comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2017 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the Company's audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. For further information, refer to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2016 . New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU-2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This accounting guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and it did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03), which amended guidance requiring the issuance of debt costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and premiums. This accounting guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 was applied retrospectively and resulted in a reclassification of $1.6 million of debt issuance costs from other long term assets to long term debt on the July 31, 2016 balance sheet. The balance sheet as of April 30, 2017 is also presented in accordance with the guidance of this new standard. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 850): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (ASU 2015-07), which amended guidance requiring a company to categorize investments for which fair values are measured using the net asset value (NAV) per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 also limits the disclosures to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using the practical expedient. This accounting guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. ASU 2015-07 will only affect the Company's disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning with the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments , which amends (Topic 805) Business Combinations (ASU 2015-16). This ASU requires that acquiring entities recognize measurement period adjustments in the reporting period the amounts are determined, including earnings adjustments that would have been recorded in previous periods if the adjustments were known at the acquisition date. Acquiring entities are no longer required to retrospectively adjust amounts in comparative periods. The adjustment amounts and reasons are still disclosed. This accounting guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and it did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17), which amended the guidance requiring companies to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes, such that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this accounting guidance prospectively beginning in the first quarter for fiscal 2017 which affected the Company's classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of April 30, 2017 . Consistent with the prospective method of adopting this new standard, the Company has not reclassified deferred tax assets and liabilities on its July 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this update, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 also eliminates the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 . Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 with the annual goodwill impairment tests. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09) , which amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 to clarify, among other things, the implementation guidance related to principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 . Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update are to be applied on a retrospective basis, either to each prior reporting period presented or by presenting the cumulative effect of applying the update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (ASU 2015-11), which amended the guidance requiring companies not using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 . Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which amends the guidance requiring companies to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. The new guidance will require companies to record both capital and operating leases on the balance sheet. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a modified retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09). This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 . Early adoption is permitted. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all of the amendments during the same period. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) (ASU 2016-15). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 . Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not expect the application of ASU 2016-15 will have a significant impact on its statement of cash flows. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) (ASU 2017-07). The new guidance requires employers to disaggregate and present separately the current service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost within the consolidated statement of operations. ASU 2017-07 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 . Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 on its consolidated statement of operations. In May 2017, the FASB issued 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (ASU 2017-09). The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 . Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-09 on its consolidated statement of operations.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions On August 31, 2016, the Company acquired the net assets of Industrias Partmo S.A. (Partmo) in Colombia. Partmo is a leading manufacturer of replacement air, lube and fuel filters in Colombia for medium and heavy duty engines. The Company believes that Partmo is an excellent strategic fit with its existing engine aftermarket business. The acquisition allows the Company to leverage Partmo’s well-recognized brand of replacement filters in South America.The total purchase price was $12.1 million , of which $10.9 million was paid at closing and $1.2 million will be paid in equal installments over the next three years subject to the satisfaction of certain representations and warranties. The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending the outcome of the final valuation. Pro forma financial results are not presented as the results of the acquisition are not material to the Company’s financial results. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company reached a $6.8 million favorable settlement of claims associated with amounts held in an escrow account that had been established in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Northern Technical, L.L.C. during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Because this settlement was related to claims associated with general representations and warranties and occurred subsequent to one year after the closing of the acquisition, the Company recorded the impact of the $6.8 million settlement as a component of “Other income, net” in its consolidated statements of operations. On May 1, 2017, the Company acquired Hy-Pro Corporation (Hy-Pro). Hy-Pro designs and manufactures filtration systems and replacement filters for stationary hydraulic and industrial lubrication applications. Hy-Pro has manufacturing locations in Anderson, Indiana and Vancouver, Washington and has 110 employees. Hy-Pro generates annual revenue of approximately $25.0 million through sales of filtration systems and replacement parts for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, metals processing and power generation.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Earnings Per Share	Net Earnings Per Share The Company’s basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Company’s diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options and stock incentive plans. Certain outstanding options were excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculations because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during those periods. Options excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculation were zero and 1.6 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 , respectively. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016 , there were 3.2 million options excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculation. Basic and diluted net earnings per share were calculated using the following (in millions, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net earnings $ 60.1 $ 54.8 $ 164.6 $ 131.3 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 132.5 133.9 133.0 133.8 Dilutive impact of share based awards 1.6 0.8 1.4 0.9 Diluted 134.1 134.7 134.4 134.7 Net earnings per share - basic $ 0.45 $ 0.41 $ 1.24 $ 0.98 Net earnings per share - diluted $ 0.45 $ 0.41 $ 1.23 $ 0.97

Goodwill and Other Intangible A

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	9 Months Ended

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company performed its annual impairment assessment during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The results of this assessment showed that the estimated fair values of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned continued to exceed the corresponding carrying values of the respective reporting units resulting in no goodwill impairment. Of the Company's five reporting units that contain goodwill, the estimated fair values during its annual third quarter fiscal 2017 impairment tests exceeded the respective carrying values by at least 60% for all but one reporting unit. The Company's Gas Turbine Systems (GTS) reporting unit has the lowest amount of excess fair value over the carrying value at 15% . Goodwill associated with the GTS reporting unit was $60.4 million as of the annual assessment and is included in the Industrial Products segment. The Company completed its GTS goodwill impairment assessment via a methodology whereby the Company uses a weighting of each of the fair values as determined under the market approach model and a discounted cash flow model based on management's judgments and assumptions to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. Based on the results of this assessment, the Company concluded the estimated fair value of the GTS reporting unit exceeded the respective carrying amount of the reporting unit by approximately 15% . In determining the estimated fair value of the GTS reporting unit, the Company used the public company method, a market approach using an estimate based on prices investors are paying for the stocks of similar, publically traded comparable companies. The Company also used the income approach, a valuation technique using an estimate of future cash flows from the reporting unit's financial forecast. The Company is using a combination of the income and market approach. A terminal growth rate of 3.0% and a discount rate of 11.5% were used reflecting the relative risk of achieving cash flows as well as any other specific risks or factors related to the GTS reporting unit. The Company believes the assumptions used in its discounted cash flow analysis are appropriate and result in reasonable estimate of the reporting unit's fair value. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis to determine how the assumptions made impact the results of the impairment test under this valuation approach. Holding all other assumptions constant, zero revenue growth for fiscal years 2019-2026 would result in an indication of impairment. Additionally, a decrease in the residual growth rate of 3.0% to zero or an increase in the discount rate by 1.5% or more would result in an indication of impairment. While these projections supported no impairment of goodwill of this reporting unit as of March 31, 2017, given the sensitivities to the assumptions used in the calculations of the estimated cash flows, it is possible that impairment could be incurred in the future. The Company will continue to monitor results and expected cash flows in the future to assess whether goodwill impairment in the GTS reporting unit may be necessary. The following is a reconciliation of goodwill for the nine months ended April 30, 2017 (in millions): Engine Products Industrial Products Total Goodwill Balance as of July 31, 2016 $ 77.3 $ 152.0 $ 229.3 Goodwill acquired 1.1 — 1.1 Foreign exchange translation (0.1 ) (0.7 ) (0.8 ) Balance as of April 30, 2017 $ 78.3 $ 151.3 $ 229.6 As of April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 , intangible assets, net were $38.5 million and $38.5 million , respectively. Intangible assets increased during the year due to the acquisition of Partmo, which generated intangibles of $4.7 million , which was offset by amortization of $4.3 million and a $0.4 million foreign exchange translation decrease. The Partmo intangibles consist of customer relationships with a 20 year useful life and trademarks and tradenames with a 10 year useful life. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of the Partmo acquisition.

These charges consisted of one-time termination benefits from restructuring salaried and production workforce in all geographic regions, closing a production facility in Grinnell, Iowa and the abandonment and write-off of a partially completed facility in Xuzhou, China. As the Company’s restructuring actions were mainly incurred and paid in the same period, there was no material liability balance as of either of the periods presented.

The Company determines the fair value of its option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Options granted are priced at the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant. There were 888,500 stock options awarded during the nine months ended April 30, 2017 . The weighted average fair value for options granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 was $10.09 and $7.10 per share, respectively. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 , the Company recorded pre-tax stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options of $1.3 million and $6.2 million , respectively, and recorded $0.3 million and $1.9 million , respectively, of related tax benefits.

Retirement Benefits, Description [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	Employee Benefit Plans The Company and certain of its international subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans for many of their hourly and salaried employees. There are two types of U.S. plans. The first type of U.S. plan (Hourly Pension Plan) is a traditional defined benefit pension plan primarily for production employees. The second plan (Salaried Pension Plan) is for salaried workers that provides defined benefits pursuant to a cash balance feature whereby a participant accumulates a benefit comprised of a percentage of current salary that varies with years of service, interest credits and transition credits. Effective August 1, 2013, the Company no longer allowed entrants into the U.S. Salaried Pension Plan. Effective August 1, 2016, employees in this plan no longer continue to accrue Company contribution credits under the plan. Employees will instead be eligible for a 3.0% annual Company retirement contribution to their 401(k) in addition to the Company’s normal 401(k) match. The international plans generally provide pension benefits based on years of service and compensation level. Net periodic benefit costs for the Company’s pension plans include the following components (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net periodic benefit cost: Service cost $ 2.0 $ 4.7 $ 6.2 $ 13.8 Interest cost 3.4 4.8 10.1 14.3 Expected return on assets (6.6 ) (7.2 ) (19.8 ) (21.7 ) Prior service cost amortization 0.2 0.1 0.4 0.4 Actuarial loss amortization 1.8 2.1 5.4 6.4 Net periodic benefit cost $ 0.8 $ 4.5 $ 2.3 $ 13.2 The Company’s general funding policy for its pension plans is to make at least the minimum contributions as required by applicable regulations. Additionally, the Company may elect to make additional contributions up to the maximum tax deductible contribution. For the nine months ended April 30, 2017 , the Company made contributions of $1.5 million to its U.S. pension plans and $1.2 million to its non-U.S. pension plans. The minimum funding requirement for the Company’s U.S. plans for fiscal 2017 is $9.7 million . Per the Pension Protection Act of 2006, this obligation can be met with existing credit balances that resulted from payments above the minimum obligation in prior years. The Company plans to utilize existing credit balances to meet the minimum obligation for fiscal 2017 . The Company currently estimates that it will contribute an additional $2.0 million to its non-U.S. pension plans during the remainder of fiscal 2017 .

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 was 28.7% and 28.5% , respectively, compared to 24.0% and 24.9% for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016 , respectively. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 was primarily due to a $3.0 million tax benefit recorded in the third quarter of the prior year associated with the favorable settlement of tax audits, and an increase in the Company's tax rate driven by an unfavorable shift in mix of earnings between tax jurisdictions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008. The United States Internal Revenue Service has completed examinations of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns through 2013. As of April 30, 2017 , the total unrecognized tax benefits were $18.7 million and accrued interest and penalties on these unrecognized tax benefits were $2.2 million . The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits would benefit the effective tax rate. With an average statute of limitations of about five years, up to $2.2 million of the unrecognized tax benefits could potentially expire in the next 12 month period unless extended by an audit. It is possible that quicker than expected settlement of either current audits, future audits or disputes would cause additional reversals of previously recorded reserves in the next 12 month period. Quantification of an estimated range and timing of future audit settlements cannot be made at this time.

Segment Reporting, Measurement Disclosures [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting The Company reports its business in two segments: Engine Products and Industrial Products. Segment determination is based on the internal organization structure, management of operations, and performance evaluation by management and the Company’s Board of Directors. Corporate and Unallocated includes corporate expenses determined to be non-allocable to the segments, such as interest income and interest expense. The Company is an integrated enterprise, characterized by substantial intersegment cooperation, cost allocations, and sharing of assets. Therefore, the Company does not represent that these segments, if operated independently, would report the operating profit and other financial information shown below.

Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements As of April 30, 2017 , the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivables, short-term borrowings and trade accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. These accounts are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. As of April 30, 2017 , the estimated fair value of debt with fixed interest rates was $381.1 million compared to its carrying value of $375.0 million . The fair value is estimated by discounting the projected cash flows using the rate that similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed. Debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Donaldson Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of earnings, comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2017 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the Company's audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. For further information, refer to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2016 .
New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted and New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU-2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This accounting guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and it did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03), which amended guidance requiring the issuance of debt costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and premiums. This accounting guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 was applied retrospectively and resulted in a reclassification of $1.6 million of debt issuance costs from other long term assets to long term debt on the July 31, 2016 balance sheet. The balance sheet as of April 30, 2017 is also presented in accordance with the guidance of this new standard. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 850): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (ASU 2015-07), which amended guidance requiring a company to categorize investments for which fair values are measured using the net asset value (NAV) per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 also limits the disclosures to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using the practical expedient. This accounting guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. ASU 2015-07 will only affect the Company's disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning with the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments , which amends (Topic 805) Business Combinations (ASU 2015-16). This ASU requires that acquiring entities recognize measurement period adjustments in the reporting period the amounts are determined, including earnings adjustments that would have been recorded in previous periods if the adjustments were known at the acquisition date. Acquiring entities are no longer required to retrospectively adjust amounts in comparative periods. The adjustment amounts and reasons are still disclosed. This accounting guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and it did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17), which amended the guidance requiring companies to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes, such that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this accounting guidance prospectively beginning in the first quarter for fiscal 2017 which affected the Company's classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of April 30, 2017 . Consistent with the prospective method of adopting this new standard, the Company has not reclassified deferred tax assets and liabilities on its July 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this update, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 also eliminates the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 . Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 with the annual goodwill impairment tests. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09) , which amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 to clarify, among other things, the implementation guidance related to principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 . Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update are to be applied on a retrospective basis, either to each prior reporting period presented or by presenting the cumulative effect of applying the update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (ASU 2015-11), which amended the guidance requiring companies not using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 . Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which amends the guidance requiring companies to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. The new guidance will require companies to record both capital and operating leases on the balance sheet. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a modified retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09). This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 . Early adoption is permitted. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all of the amendments during the same period. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) (ASU 2016-15). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 . Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not expect the application of ASU 2016-15 will have a significant impact on its statement of cash flows. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) (ASU 2017-07). The new guidance requires employers to disaggregate and present separately the current service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost within the consolidated statement of operations. ASU 2017-07 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 . Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 on its consolidated statement of operations. In May 2017, the FASB issued 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (ASU 2017-09). The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 . Early adoption is permitted.
