Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, American Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the development, marketing, and support activities of a broad range of computer business application software products. The Company’s operations are principally in the computer software industry, and its products and services are used by customers within the United States and certain international markets. We provide our software solutions through three major business segments, which are further broken down into a total of six major product and service groups. The three operating segments are (1) Supply Chain Management (“SCM”), (2) Information Technology (“IT”) Consulting and (3) Other. • The SCM segment consists of Logility, Inc. (see Note 9), which provides collaborative supply chain solutions to streamline and optimize the production, distribution and management of products between trading partners, as well as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Logility, DMI, NGC and Halo. • The IT Consulting segment consists of The Proven Method, Inc., an IT staffing and consulting services firm. • The Other segment consists of (i) American Software ERP, which provides purchasing and materials management, customer order processing, financial, e-commerce Certain prior period amounts have been recasted to conform within these footnotes to current period presentation. (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Software, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue The Company recognizes revenue predominately in accordance with the Software Revenue Recognition Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). License. case-by-case Services and other. , out-of-pocket out-of-pocket Software-as-a-Service as-needed Maintenance. Indirect Channel Revenue. end-user, Deferred Revenue. Sales Taxes. . Unbilled Accounts Receivable. (d) Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues for licenses includes amortization of developed technology and capitalized computer software development costs, salaries and benefits and value-added reseller (VAR) commissions. Costs for maintenance and services revenues include the cost of personnel to conduct implementations, customer support and consulting, and other personnel-related expenses as well as agent commission expenses related to maintenance revenues generated by the indirect channel. Commission costs for maintenance are deferred and amortized over the related maintenance term. (e) Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents of $47.0 million and $62.6 million at April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, consist of overnight repurchase agreements and money market deposit accounts. The Company considers all such investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows. (f) Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments with various financial institutions. The Company’s sales are primarily to companies located in North America and Europe. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are due principally from companies under stated contract terms. (g) Returns and Allowances The Company has not experienced significant returns or warranty claims to date and, as a result, the allowance for the cost of returns and product warranty claims at April 30, 2018 or 2017 is not significant. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the historical experience of write-offs and a detailed assessment of accounts receivable. The total amounts of expense/(recovery) to operations were approximately $24,000, $39,000, and $0 for 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the age of the accounts receivable, the Company’s historical write-offs, and the credit worthiness of the customer, among other factors. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change accordingly, which could affect the level of the Company’s future provision for doubtful accounts. Uncollectible accounts are written off when it is determined that the specific balance is not collectible. (h) Investments Investments consist of commercial paper, corporate bonds, government securities, certificates of deposits and marketable equity securities. The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with the Investments—Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company has classified its investment portfolio as “trading.” “Trading” securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in the determination of net earnings. For the purposes of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. Investments with maturities less than one year as of the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments and those that mature greater than one year are classified as long-term investments. (i) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of buildings, computer equipment, purchased computer software, office furniture and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets (three years for computer equipment and software, seven years for office furniture and equipment and thirty years for buildings). Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease term, whichever is shorter. Depreciation and amortization expense on buildings, furniture, equipment and purchased computer software was $492,000, $731,000, and $807,000 in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. (j) Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with the FASB ASC Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed Topic. Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers. The Company makes ongoing evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the net amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized computer software development costs are amortized ratably based on the projected revenues associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization. Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs is included in the cost of license revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Total Expenditures and Amortization. Years ended April 30, 2018 2017 2016 (in thousands) Total capitalized computer software development costs $ 4,804 $ 3,724 $ 3,246 Total research and development expense 11,877 11,889 11,248 Total research and development expense and capitalized computer software-development costs $ 16,681 $ 15,613 $ 14,494 Total amortization of capitalized computer software development costs $ 3,690 $ 4,250 $ 3,921 Capitalized computer software development costs consist of the following at April 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands): 2018 2017 Capitalized computer software development costs $ 33,841 $ 29,037 Accumulated amortization (24,113 ) (20,423 ) $ 9,728 $ 8,614 Of the Company’s capitalized software projects that are currently completed and being amortized, the Company expects amortization expense for the next three years to be as follows (in thousands): 2019 $ 3,820 2020 3,125 2021 469 $ 7,414 (k) Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets (exclusive of Logility’s treasury stock repurchases) Acquisition-related intangible assets are stated at historical cost and include acquired software and certain other intangible assets with definite lives. The intangible assets are being amortized over a period ranging from one to eight years. For 2018, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $1,849,000, with $580,000 included in operating expense and $1,269,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For 2017, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $1,659,000, with $1,041,000 included in operating expense and $618,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For 2016, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $890,000, with $272,000 included in operating expense and $618,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets consist of the following at April 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands): Weighted 2018 2017 Current technology 3 $ 6,000 $ 4,872 Customer relationships 8 1,700 1,400 Non-compete 3 100 390 Trademarks 3 340 200 8,140 6,862 Accumulated amortization (3,020 ) (3,463 ) $ 5,120 $ 3,399 The Company expects amortization expense for the next five years to be as follows based on intangible assets as of April 30, 2018 (in thousands): 2019 $ 2,388 2020 1,600 2021 772 2022 213 2023 52 Thereafter 95 $ 5,120 (l) Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether the goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company identifies the reporting unit on a basis that is similar to its method for identifying operating segments as defined by the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. This evaluation is applied annually on each impairment testing date (April 30) unless there is a triggering event present during an interim period. For the years ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company performed a qualitative assessment based on economic, industry and company-specific factors as the initial step in the annual goodwill impairment test for all reporting units. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, companies are only required to perform Step 1 of the annual impairment test for a reporting unit if the company concludes that it is more likely than not that the unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. To the extent the Company concludes it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying amount, the two-step Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC. Goodwill consisted of the following by segment (in thousands): Supply Chain IT Other Total Balance at April 30, 2016 $ 18,749 $ — $ — $ 18,749 Goodwill related to the AdapChain Acquisition 800 — — 800 Balance at April 30, 2017 19,549 — — 19,549 Goodwill related to the Halo Acquisition 6,339 — — 6,339 Balance at April 30, 2018 $ 25,888 $ — $ — $ 25,888 * Goodwill related to Logility, Inc., New Generation Computing, Inc., Demand Management, Inc. and their acquisitions. Intangible Assets (including Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets) consisted of the following by segment (in thousands): Supply Chain IT Other Total Balance at April 30, 2016 $ 1,858 $ — $ — $ 1,858 Intangibles related to the AdapChain Acquisition 3,200 — — 3,200 Amortization expense (1,659 ) — — (1,659 ) Balance at April 30, 2017 3,399 — — 3,399 Intangibles related to the Halo Acquisition 3,570 — — 3,570 Amortization expense (1,849 ) — — (1,849 ) Balance at April 30, 2018 $ 5,120 $ — $ — $ 5,120 (m) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) The Company adopted the new revenue standard effective May 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this method, the Company elects to apply the cumulative effect method to contracts that are not complete as of the adoption date. The Company’s total revenue impact is expected to be approximately $1.2 million, with approximately 70% impacting the fiscal year ending April 30, 2019, which is the result of upfront recognition of revenue under the new standard for term licenses and certain perpetual license contracts that were previously recognized over time due to the lack of VSOE for the undelivered element. In addition, under the new standard, the Company will capitalize a portion of sales commission expenses and recognize them ratably over the associated period of economic benefit. As a result, the cumulative impact due to the adoption of the new revenue standard on the opening consolidated balance sheet is expected to be an increase in opening retained earnings, with a corresponding increase to contract assets and a decrease in deferred revenue. We have not identified other significant differences related to the pattern of revenue recognition or presentation of revenue compared to our historical accounting. The Company is continuing to finalize the impact of adopting the new revenue standard on its financial position but has identified changes to its accounting policies and practices and controls to support the new revenue recognition standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (o) Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to those related to revenue/collectability, income taxes, allocation of fair values in acquisitions and business combinations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which, form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. (p) Stock-Based Compensation The Company has four stock-based employee compensation plans under which options to purchase common stock of the Company were outstanding as of April 30, 2018. Those plans are described more fully in Note 7. In addition to two American Software plans, effective July 9, 2009, the Company adopted the Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan and Logility, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan as equity plans of the Company in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of the shares of Logility common stock it did not previously own. The Company recorded stock option compensation cost of approximately $1,467,000, $1,428,000 and $1,593,000 and related income tax benefits of approximately $547,000, $528,000 and $586,000 for the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense on current year grants is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award directly to additional paid-in The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, paid-in paid-in (q) Comprehensive Income The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB ASC establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. The Company did not have any other comprehensive income items for 2018, 2017, or 2016. (r) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet. (s) Earnings per Common Share The Company has two classes of common stock of which Class B common shares are convertible into Class A common shares at any time, on a one-for-one “two-class” For the Company’s basic earnings per share calculation, the Company uses the “two-class” two-classes Diluted earnings per share is calculated similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of options issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans. For the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation for Class A shares, the Company uses the “if-converted” For the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation for Class B shares, the Company uses the “two-class” two-classes The following tables set forth the computation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands except for per share amounts), see Note 7 for total stock options outstanding and potentially dilutive: Basic earnings per common share: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Class A Class B Class A Class B Class A Class B Distributed earnings per share $ 0.44 $ 0.43 $ 0.44 $ 0.44 $ 0.40 $ 0.40 Undistributed earnings/(loss) per share (0.04 ) (0.04 ) 0.06 0.06 (0.04 ) (0.04 ) Total per share $ 0.40 $ 0.39 $ 0.50 $ 0.50 $ 0.36 $ 0.36 Distributed earnings $ 12,321 $ 974 $ 11,845 $ 1,066 $ 10,479 $ 1,025 Undistributed earnings/(loss) (1,151 ) (91 ) 1,568 142 (1,148 ) (114 ) Total $ 11,170 $ 883 $ 13,413 $ 1,208 $ 9,331 $ 911 Basic weighted average common shares 27,805 2,275 26,793 2,439 26,143 2,584 Diluted EPS for Class A common shares using the If-Converted Year Ended April 30, 2018 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 11,170 27,805 $ 0.40 Common stock equivalents — 392 11,170 28,197 0.40 Class B conversion 883 2,275 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 12,053 30,472 $ 0.40 Year Ended April 30, 2017 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 13,413 26,793 $ 0.50 Common stock equivalents — 335 13,413 27,128 0.49 Class B conversion 1,208 2,439 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 14,621 29,567 $ 0.49 Year Ended April 30, 2016 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 9,331 26,143 $ 0.36 Common stock equivalents — 278 9,331 26,421 0.35 Class B conversion 911 2,584 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 10,242 29,005 $ 0.35 Diluted EPS for Class B common shares using the Two-Class Year Ended April 30, 2018 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 883 2,275 $ 0.39 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares — — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 883 2,275 $ 0.39 Year Ended April 30, 2017 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 1,208 2,439 $ 0.50 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares (2 ) — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 1,206 2,439 $ 0.49 Year Ended April 30, 2016 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 911 2,584 $ 0.35 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares 2 — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 913 2,584 $ 0.35 * Amounts adjusted for rounding (t) Advertising All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses, which are included within sales and marketing expenses, were $2.4 million, $2.3 million and $2.1 million in fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. (u) Guarantees and Indemnifications The Company accounts for guarantees in accordance with the Guarantee Topic of the FASB ASC . The Company warrants to its customers that its software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with the standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the customer generally for 90 days after delivery of the licensed products. Additionally, the Company warrants to its customers that services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards or specific service levels through completion of the agreed upon services. If necessary, the Company will provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. However, the Company has not incurred significant recurring expense under product or service warranties. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of April 30, 2018 or 2017. (v) Industry Segments The Company operates and manages its business in three reportable segments. See Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | (3) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company measures its investments based on a fair value hierarchy disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. A number of factors affect market price observability including the type of asset or liability and its characteristics. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. • Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. • Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The following is a general description of the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. Cash Equivalents Marketable Securities The following table presents our assets that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands): April 30, 2018 April 30, 2017 Quoted Prices Significant Significant Total Quoted Prices Significant Significant Total Cash equivalents $ 46,972 $ — $ — $ 46,972 $ 62,647 $ — $ — $ 62,647 Marketable securities 11,125 23,889 — 35,014 8,984 14,803 — 23,787 Total $ 58,097 $ 23,889 $ — $ 81,986 $ 71,631 $ 14,803 $ — $ 86,434 The carrying amounts of cash, trade accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation and related costs, and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | (5) Acquisitions We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based upon management’s estimates of current fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimation process includes analyses based on income and market approaches. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill generated is due in part to the synergies that are not included in the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill recorded in an acquisition is assigned to applicable reporting units based on expected revenues. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Amortization of current technology is recorded in cost of revenues-license and amortization of all other intangible assets is recorded in amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other costs, are expensed in general and administrative expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. Effective November 21, 2017, the Company acquired certain assets of privately held Innovare Holding Co., Incorporated, a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Halo”) and a supplier of advanced analytics and business intelligence solutions, for the supply chain market, pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement, dated as of November 21, 2017 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Halo’s advanced analytics will be embedded into the Logility Voyager Solutions advanced analytics platform. These enriched analytics will leverage interactive visualization, machine learning algorithms, and artificial intelligence (AI) to transform both structured and unstructured data to accelerate business planning performance and proactively identify new business opportunities or mitigate risks. Customers on the DMI and NGC platforms will be able to add pre-packaged Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the assets of Halo for cash consideration paid of approximately $9.25 million, which represents a purchase price of approximately $9.95 million net of a $700,000 negative working capital adjustment, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which included an additional negative working capital adjustment of $100,000, thus resulting in an adjusted purchase price consolidation of $9.15 million. The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $149,000 during the year ended April 30, 2018. The operating results of Halo are not material for pro forma disclosure. We preliminarily allocated $6,339,000 of the total purchase price to goodwill, which has been assigned to the Supply Chain Management segment and is deductible for income tax purposes. The following preliminary allocation of the total purchase price reflects the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of November 21, 2017 (in thousands): Useful Life Accounts receivable, net $ 373 Current assets 188 Property and equipment, net 43 Other assets 1,700 Goodwill 6,339 Non-compete 30 2 years Trade name 140 2 years Customer relationships 300 8 years Current technology 3,100 3 years Total assets acquired 12,213 Current liabilities (1,360 ) Long-term liabilities (1,703 ) Total liabilities assumed (3,063 ) Net assets acquired $ 9,150 Non-compete value. Also, in practice, the normal profit margin is limited to the profit margin on the costs to provide the product or service (that is, the fulfillment effort). |

Income Taxes | 6) Income Taxes Income tax expense consisted of the following: Years ended April 30, 2018 2017 2016 (In thousands) Current: Federal $ 2,298 $ 5,643 $ 4,105 State 743 676 665 3,041 6,319 4,770 Deferred: Federal 321 558 (299 ) State 300 117 (13 ) 621 675 (312 ) $ 3,662 $ 6,994 $ 4,458 The Company’s actual income tax expense differs from the “expected” income tax expense calculated by applying our blended U.S. Federal statutory tax rate of 30.3% for fiscal year 2018 and the Federal statutory rate of 35% for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, to earnings before income taxes as follows: Years ended April 30, 2018 2017 2016 (In thousands) Computed “expected” income tax expense $ 4,763 $ 7,565 $ 5,145 Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal income tax effect 891 592 435 Research and development credits (493 ) (520 ) (694 ) Change in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets 4 (293 ) (2 ) Tax contingencies (13 ) (42 ) (13 ) NQ stock options granted 102 106 26 Rate change – tax reform (1,206 ) — — Other, net, including permanent items (386 ) (414 ) (439 ) $ 3,662 $ 6,994 $ 4,458 Our effective income tax rates were 23%, 32% and 30% in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our effective income tax rate takes into account the source of taxable income, by state, and available income tax credits. The provision for income taxes in 2018, 2017 and 2016 includes approximately $186,000, $253,000 and $247,000, respectively, in income tax benefits related to the tax benefits realized from stock option deductions. The significant components of deferred income tax (benefit) expense attributable to income from continuing operations before income taxes for the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016 are as follows: Years ended April 30, 2018 2017 2016 (In thousands) Deferred tax expense/(benefit) $ 1,823 $ 968 $ (310 ) Deferred tax benefit related to tax reform (1,206 ) — — Increase (decrease) in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets 4 (293 ) (2 ) $ 621 $ 675 $ (312 ) The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at April 30, 2018 and 2017 are presented as follows: 2018 2017 (In thousands) Deferred tax assets: Accruals and expenses not deducted for tax purposes $ 339 $ 461 State net operating loss carryforwards 226 295 Fixed asset basis differences 883 1,384 Nonqualified stock options 762 1,679 Deferred revenue 53 234 Total gross deferred tax assets 2,263 4,053 Less valuation allowance 170 166 Net deferred tax 2,093 3,887 Deferred tax liabilities: Capitalized computer software development costs (2,432 ) (3,298 ) Net gains/losses on trading securities (938 ) (1,019 ) Goodwill and intangible assets basis differences (601 ) (939 ) Deferred agent commissions (737 ) (625 ) Total gross deferred tax liabilities (4,708 ) (5,881 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (2,615 ) $ (1,994 ) At April 30, 2018, the Company has approximately $5.7 million of various state net operating loss carryforwards which are available to offset future state taxable income, if any, through 2035. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon reversal of deferred tax liabilities and expected future profitability, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances, at April 30, 2018. The Company applies the accounting provisions which require us to prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribution for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken within an income tax return. As of April 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we have recorded approximately $56,000, $57,000, and $101,000, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded net of any federal tax benefit that would result from payment. We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision. As of April 30, 2018 and 2017, we had recorded a liability for potential penalties and interest of approximately $24,000 and $24,000, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows, excluding interest and penalties (in thousands): 2018 2017 Balance at beginning of the period $ 33 $ 54 Decreases as a result of positions taken during prior periods (1 ) (25 ) Increases as a result of positions taken during the current period — 4 Balance at April 30, $ 32 $ 33 We conduct business globally and, as a result, file consolidated income tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. During the years ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded research and development state tax credits against payroll taxes of approximately $290,000 and $436,000, respectively, which reduced general and administrative expenses by the same amount. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law. The Act lowered our U.S. statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. For fiscal year 2018, our blended U.S. federal statutory tax rate is 30.3%. This is the result of using the tax rate of 35% for the first eight months of fiscal year 2018 and the reduced tax rate of 21% for the final four months of fiscal year 2018. During the year ended April 30, 2018, we recorded a $1.2 million benefit from the impact of changes in the tax rate, primarily on deferred tax assets and liabilities, which was included in income tax expense on our consolidated statement of operations and deferred income taxes on our consolidated balance sheet. We remeasured our deferred taxes to reflect the reduced rate that will apply when these deferred taxes are settled or realized in future periods. To calculate the remeasurement of deferred taxes, we estimated when the existing deferred taxes will be settled or realized. |

Shareholders' Equity | (7) Shareholders’ Equity Except for the election or removal of Directors and class votes as required by law or the Articles of Incorporation, holders of both classes of common stock vote as a single class on all matters with each Class A common share entitled to cast one-tenth Stock Option Plans As of April 30, 2018, the Company has outstanding stock options granted pursuant to four stock option plans. The 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Option Plan”) became effective on September 1, 2000. This Plan was terminated and replaced by the 2011 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2011 Option Plan”) effective May 17, 2010. Options outstanding under the 2001 Option Plan remain in effect, but no new options may be granted under the plan. Effective July 9, 2009, we adopted the Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan and the Logility, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan as equity plans of American Software, although we will not grant any additional stock options under these plans. Under the 2011 Option Plan, options to purchase Class A common shares are granted in the form of both incentive stock options and non-qualified non-employee non-qualified At the 2017 Annual Meeting, the shareholders voted on increasing the shares authorized under the 2011 Option Plan from 6,000,000 to 7,000,000. When stock options are exercised, it is the Company’s policy to issue stock from authorized shares rather than treasury shares. A summary of changes in outstanding options for the year ended April 30, 2018 is as follows: Number of Weighted Weighted Aggregate Outstanding at May 1, 2017 3,079,146 $ 9.00 Granted 1,208,000 11.24 Exercised (984,310 ) 8.74 Forfeited (27,000 ) 9.36 Outstanding at April 30, 2018 3,275,836 $ 9.90 3.7 $ 9,368,422 Exercisable at April 30, 2018 965,416 $ 9.07 2.4 $ 3,563,542 The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016 are $2.01, $1.96, and $1.60 per share, respectively. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016: 2018 2017 2016 Dividend yield 3.9 % 4.0 % 4.9 % Expected volatility 28.9 % 32.7 % 33.6 % Risk-free interest rate 1.9 % 1.2 % 1.5 % Expected term 5.0 years 5.0 years 5.0 years The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility and implied volatility. The Company uses historical data to estimate stock option exercise and forfeiture rates. The expected term represents the period over which the share-based awards are expected to be outstanding. Beginning after December 31, 2007, the expected term was estimated using historical data. The dividend yield is an estimate of the expected dividend yield on the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term of the stock options. Options issued after May 1, 2007 with graded vesting are valued as a single award. The total value of the award is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equal to the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date. During the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016, we issued 984,310, 754,811 and 306,848 shares of common stock, respectively, resulting from the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016 based on market value at the exercise dates was $2,999,372, $2,280,650 and $1,219,406 respectively. The fair value of grants vested during the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $1,287,222, $1,550,190 and $1,495,065, respectively. As of April 30, 2018, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards approximated $3.3 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. Stock Repurchases On August 19, 2002, our Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the repurchase of up to 2.0 million shares of our Class A common stock. These repurchases have been and will be made through open market purchases at prevailing market prices. The timing of any repurchases will depend upon market conditions, the market price of our common stock and management’s assessment of our liquidity and cash flow needs. For this repurchase plan, through April 30, 2018, we have repurchased 1,053,679 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $6.2 million. Under all repurchase plans as of April 30, 2018, we have repurchased 4,588,632 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $25.6 million. |

Commitments and Contingencies | (8) Commitments and Contingencies (a) Leases The Company leases office facilities and equipment under various operating leases. Rental expense for these leases approximated $1.2 million, $1.1 million, and $1.0 million for the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The Company leased several floors of its headquarters in Atlanta, GA under various operating leases. Rental income for these leases approximated $357,000, $538,000 and $723,000 for the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, the Company owned other properties leased under various operating leases. Rental income for these leases approximated $0, $236,000 and $309,000 for the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. On February 23, 2017, the Company divested the property to which these leases were associated. The rental income is included as a component of Other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of April 30, 2018 are as follows (existence of renewal or escalation clauses) (in thousands): Years ended April 30: 2019 $ 1,056 2020 419 2021 346 2022 289 2023 97 Thereafter — $ 2,207 Future minimum lease rentals receivable under noncancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of April 30, 2018 are as follows (already included or prorated at the Company’s occupied building) (in thousands): Years ended April 30: 2019 $ 301 2020 61 2021 30 2022 — 2023 — Thereafter — $ 392 (b) 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan Employees are offered the opportunity to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the 401(k) Plan), which is intended to be a tax-qualified (c) Contingencies The Company more often than not indemnifies its customers against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright, or trademark infringement associated with use of the Company’s products. The Company has historically not been required to make any payments under such indemnifications. However, the Company continues to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and would recognize any such losses under the indemnifications when those losses are estimable. In addition, the Company warrants to customers that the Company’s products operate substantially in accordance with the software product’s specifications. Historically, no costs have been incurred related to software product warranties and none are expected in the future, and as such no accruals for software product warranty costs have been made. Additionally, the Company is involved in various claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. |

Segment Information | (9) Segment Information FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting The SCM segment consists of Logility, which provides supply chain optimization and advance retail planning solutions, as an integrated suite of sales and operations planning, demand optimization, inventory optimization, manufacturing planning and scheduling, supply optimization, retail allocation and merchandise planning and transportation optimization, as well as (i) DMI, which provides collaborative supply chain solutions to streamline and optimize the forecasting, inventory, production, supply, allocation, distribution and management of products between trading partners, (ii) New Generation Computing (“NGC”), which provides cloud solutions for supply chain management, product lifecycle management, quality control, vendor compliance and enterprise resource planning for both retailers and manufacturers in the apparel, sewn products and furniture industries, and (iii) Halo, which provides advanced analytics and business intelligence solutions for the supply chain market. The IT Consulting segment consists of The Proven Method, Inc., an IT staffing and consulting services firm, which provides support for our software products, such as software enhancements, documentation, updates, customer education, consulting, systems integration services, maintenance and support services. The Other segment consists of (i) American Software ERP, which provides purchasing and materials management, customer order processing, financial, e-commerce Previously, we maintained three operating segments: (1) SCM, (2) IT and (3) Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”). As a result of the organizational realignment during the third quarter fiscal 2018, NGC was repositioned out of the ERP segment and into the SCM segment. There were no changes to the IT segment. Certain prior year amounts have been recasted to conform to fiscal 2018 presentation. The change in reportable segments had no effect on our previously reported consolidated financial position or results of operations. All of our revenues are derived from external customers. We do not have any inter-segment revenue. Our income taxes and dividends are paid at a consolidated level. Consequently, it is not practical to show these items by operating segment.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | (a) Basis of Presentation Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, American Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the development, marketing, and support activities of a broad range of computer business application software products. The Company’s operations are principally in the computer software industry, and its products and services are used by customers within the United States and certain international markets. We provide our software solutions through three major business segments, which are further broken down into a total of six major product and service groups. The three operating segments are (1) Supply Chain Management (“SCM”), (2) Information Technology (“IT”) Consulting and (3) Other. • The SCM segment consists of Logility, Inc. (see Note 9), which provides collaborative supply chain solutions to streamline and optimize the production, distribution and management of products between trading partners, as well as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Logility, DMI, NGC and Halo. • The IT Consulting segment consists of The Proven Method, Inc., an IT staffing and consulting services firm. • The Other segment consists of (i) American Software ERP, which provides purchasing and materials management, customer order processing, financial, e-commerce Certain prior period amounts have been recasted to conform within these footnotes to current period presentation. |
Principles of Consolidation | (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Software, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue | (c) Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue The Company recognizes revenue predominately in accordance with the Software Revenue Recognition Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). License. case-by-case Services and other. , out-of-pocket out-of-pocket Software-as-a-Service as-needed Maintenance. Indirect Channel Revenue. end-user, Deferred Revenue. Sales Taxes. . Unbilled Accounts Receivable. |
Cost of Revenues | (d) Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues for licenses includes amortization of developed technology and capitalized computer software development costs, salaries and benefits and value-added reseller (VAR) commissions. Costs for maintenance and services revenues include the cost of personnel to conduct implementations, customer support and consulting, and other personnel-related expenses as well as agent commission expenses related to maintenance revenues generated by the indirect channel. Commission costs for maintenance are deferred and amortized over the related maintenance term. |
Cash Equivalents | (e) Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents of $47.0 million and $62.6 million at April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, consist of overnight repurchase agreements and money market deposit accounts. The Company considers all such investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | (f) Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments with various financial institutions. The Company’s sales are primarily to companies located in North America and Europe. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are due principally from companies under stated contract terms. |
Returns and Allowances | (g) Returns and Allowances The Company has not experienced significant returns or warranty claims to date and, as a result, the allowance for the cost of returns and product warranty claims at April 30, 2018 or 2017 is not significant. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the historical experience of write-offs and a detailed assessment of accounts receivable. The total amounts of expense/(recovery) to operations were approximately $24,000, $39,000, and $0 for 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the age of the accounts receivable, the Company’s historical write-offs, and the credit worthiness of the customer, among other factors. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change accordingly, which could affect the level of the Company’s future provision for doubtful accounts. Uncollectible accounts are written off when it is determined that the specific balance is not collectible. |
Investments | (h) Investments Investments consist of commercial paper, corporate bonds, government securities, certificates of deposits and marketable equity securities. The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with the Investments—Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company has classified its investment portfolio as “trading.” “Trading” securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in the determination of net earnings. For the purposes of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. Investments with maturities less than one year as of the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments and those that mature greater than one year are classified as long-term investments. |
Property and Equipment | (i) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of buildings, computer equipment, purchased computer software, office furniture and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets (three years for computer equipment and software, seven years for office furniture and equipment and thirty years for buildings). Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease term, whichever is shorter. Depreciation and amortization expense on buildings, furniture, equipment and purchased computer software was $492,000, $731,000, and $807,000 in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs | (j) Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with the FASB ASC Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed Topic. Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers. The Company makes ongoing evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the net amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized computer software development costs are amortized ratably based on the projected revenues associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization. Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs is included in the cost of license revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Total Expenditures and Amortization. Years ended April 30, 2018 2017 2016 (in thousands) Total capitalized computer software development costs $ 4,804 $ 3,724 $ 3,246 Total research and development expense 11,877 11,889 11,248 Total research and development expense and capitalized computer software-development costs $ 16,681 $ 15,613 $ 14,494 Total amortization of capitalized computer software development costs $ 3,690 $ 4,250 $ 3,921 Capitalized computer software development costs consist of the following at April 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands): 2018 2017 Capitalized computer software development costs $ 33,841 $ 29,037 Accumulated amortization (24,113 ) (20,423 ) $ 9,728 $ 8,614 Of the Company’s capitalized software projects that are currently completed and being amortized, the Company expects amortization expense for the next three years to be as follows (in thousands): 2019 $ 3,820 2020 3,125 2021 469 $ 7,414 |
Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets (exclusive of Logility's treasury stock repurchases) | (k) Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets (exclusive of Logility’s treasury stock repurchases) Acquisition-related intangible assets are stated at historical cost and include acquired software and certain other intangible assets with definite lives. The intangible assets are being amortized over a period ranging from one to eight years. For 2018, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $1,849,000, with $580,000 included in operating expense and $1,269,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For 2017, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $1,659,000, with $1,041,000 included in operating expense and $618,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For 2016, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $890,000, with $272,000 included in operating expense and $618,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets consist of the following at April 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands): Weighted 2018 2017 Current technology 3 $ 6,000 $ 4,872 Customer relationships 8 1,700 1,400 Non-compete 3 100 390 Trademarks 3 340 200 8,140 6,862 Accumulated amortization (3,020 ) (3,463 ) $ 5,120 $ 3,399 The Company expects amortization expense for the next five years to be as follows based on intangible assets as of April 30, 2018 (in thousands): 2019 $ 2,388 2020 1,600 2021 772 2022 213 2023 52 Thereafter 95 $ 5,120 |
Goodwill and Other Intangibles | (l) Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether the goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company identifies the reporting unit on a basis that is similar to its method for identifying operating segments as defined by the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. This evaluation is applied annually on each impairment testing date (April 30) unless there is a triggering event present during an interim period. For the years ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company performed a qualitative assessment based on economic, industry and company-specific factors as the initial step in the annual goodwill impairment test for all reporting units. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, companies are only required to perform Step 1 of the annual impairment test for a reporting unit if the company concludes that it is more likely than not that the unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. To the extent the Company concludes it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying amount, the two-step Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC. Goodwill consisted of the following by segment (in thousands): Supply Chain IT Other Total Balance at April 30, 2016 $ 18,749 $ — $ — $ 18,749 Goodwill related to the AdapChain Acquisition 800 — — 800 Balance at April 30, 2017 19,549 — — 19,549 Goodwill related to the Halo Acquisition 6,339 — — 6,339 Balance at April 30, 2018 $ 25,888 $ — $ — $ 25,888 * Goodwill related to Logility, Inc., New Generation Computing, Inc., Demand Management, Inc. and their acquisitions.

Income Taxes | (m) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | (n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) The Company adopted the new revenue standard effective May 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this method, the Company elects to apply the cumulative effect method to contracts that are not complete as of the adoption date. The Company’s total revenue impact is expected to be approximately $1.2 million, with approximately 70% impacting the fiscal year ending April 30, 2019, which is the result of upfront recognition of revenue under the new standard for term licenses and certain perpetual license contracts that were previously recognized over time due to the lack of VSOE for the undelivered element. In addition, under the new standard, the Company will capitalize a portion of sales commission expenses and recognize them ratably over the associated period of economic benefit. As a result, the cumulative impact due to the adoption of the new revenue standard on the opening consolidated balance sheet is expected to be an increase in opening retained earnings, with a corresponding increase to contract assets and a decrease in deferred revenue. We have not identified other significant differences related to the pattern of revenue recognition or presentation of revenue compared to our historical accounting. The Company is continuing to finalize the impact of adopting the new revenue standard on its financial position but has identified changes to its accounting policies and practices and controls to support the new revenue recognition standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) |
Use of Estimates | (o) Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to those related to revenue/collectability, income taxes, allocation of fair values in acquisitions and business combinations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which, form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Stock-Based Compensation | (p) Stock-Based Compensation The Company has four stock-based employee compensation plans under which options to purchase common stock of the Company were outstanding as of April 30, 2018. Those plans are described more fully in Note 7. In addition to two American Software plans, effective July 9, 2009, the Company adopted the Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan and Logility, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan as equity plans of the Company in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of the shares of Logility common stock it did not previously own. The Company recorded stock option compensation cost of approximately $1,467,000, $1,428,000 and $1,593,000 and related income tax benefits of approximately $547,000, $528,000 and $586,000 for the years ended April 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Comprehensive Income | (q) Comprehensive Income The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB ASC establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. The Company did not have any other comprehensive income items for 2018, 2017, or 2016. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | (r) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet. |
Earnings per Common Share | (s) Earnings per Common Share The Company has two classes of common stock of which Class B common shares are convertible into Class A common shares at any time, on a one-for-one “two-class” For the Company’s basic earnings per share calculation, the Company uses the “two-class” two-classes Diluted earnings per share is calculated similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of options issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans. For the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation for Class A shares, the Company uses the “if-converted” For the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation for Class B shares, the Company uses the “two-class” two-classes The following tables set forth the computation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands except for per share amounts), see Note 7 for total stock options outstanding and potentially dilutive: Basic earnings per common share: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Class A Class B Class A Class B Class A Class B Distributed earnings per share $ 0.44 $ 0.43 $ 0.44 $ 0.44 $ 0.40 $ 0.40 Undistributed earnings/(loss) per share (0.04 ) (0.04 ) 0.06 0.06 (0.04 ) (0.04 ) Total per share $ 0.40 $ 0.39 $ 0.50 $ 0.50 $ 0.36 $ 0.36 Distributed earnings $ 12,321 $ 974 $ 11,845 $ 1,066 $ 10,479 $ 1,025 Undistributed earnings/(loss) (1,151 ) (91 ) 1,568 142 (1,148 ) (114 ) Total $ 11,170 $ 883 $ 13,413 $ 1,208 $ 9,331 $ 911 Basic weighted average common shares 27,805 2,275 26,793 2,439 26,143 2,584 Diluted EPS for Class A common shares using the If-Converted Year Ended April 30, 2018 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 11,170 27,805 $ 0.40 Common stock equivalents — 392 11,170 28,197 0.40 Class B conversion 883 2,275 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 12,053 30,472 $ 0.40 Year Ended April 30, 2017 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 13,413 26,793 $ 0.50 Common stock equivalents — 335 13,413 27,128 0.49 Class B conversion 1,208 2,439 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 14,621 29,567 $ 0.49 Year Ended April 30, 2016 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 9,331 26,143 $ 0.36 Common stock equivalents — 278 9,331 26,421 0.35 Class B conversion 911 2,584 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 10,242 29,005 $ 0.35 Diluted EPS for Class B common shares using the Two-Class Year Ended April 30, 2018 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 883 2,275 $ 0.39 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares — — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 883 2,275 $ 0.39 Year Ended April 30, 2017 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 1,208 2,439 $ 0.50 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares (2 ) — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 1,206 2,439 $ 0.49 Year Ended April 30, 2016 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 911 2,584 $ 0.35 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares 2 — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 913 2,584 $ 0.35 * Amounts adjusted for rounding |
Advertising | (t) Advertising All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses, which are included within sales and marketing expenses, were $2.4 million, $2.3 million and $2.1 million in fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
Guarantees and Indemnifications | (u) Guarantees and Indemnifications The Company accounts for guarantees in accordance with the Guarantee Topic of the FASB ASC . The Company warrants to its customers that its software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with the standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the customer generally for 90 days after delivery of the licensed products. Additionally, the Company warrants to its customers that services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards or specific service levels through completion of the agreed upon services. If necessary, the Company will provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. However, the Company has not incurred significant recurring expense under product or service warranties. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of April 30, 2018 or 2017. |
Industry Segments | (v) Industry Segments The Company operates and manages its business in three reportable segments. See Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Acquisition | We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based upon management’s estimates of current fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimation process includes analyses based on income and market approaches. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill generated is due in part to the synergies that are not included in the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill recorded in an acquisition is assigned to applicable reporting units based on expected revenues. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Amortization of current technology is recorded in cost of revenues-license and amortization of all other intangible assets is recorded in amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other costs, are expensed in general and administrative expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. |
