Accounting Policies [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING POLICIES	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Wesco have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in WESCO International, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date, but does not include all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, in the opinion of management, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented herein. All adjustments reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information are of a normal recurring nature unless indicated. The results for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations , which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2023, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which the Company will begin disclosing in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The adoption of this ASU resulted in additional disclosure of the Company's supplier finance program, as described below. Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to Wesco’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Supplier Finance Program	Supplier Finance Programs The Company has a supplier finance program that is administered by an intermediary. Under this arrangement, participating suppliers may elect to receive early payment of invoices that have been confirmed by the Company, less an interest deduction, which is paid to the supplier by a third-party finance provider. Wesco agrees to pay the stated amount of confirmed invoices in full on the original due date of the invoices, which is typically within 45 to 90 days of the invoice date, regardless of whether the supplier elects to receive early payment from the third-party finance provider. The Company does not provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees to the finance provider or intermediary under this arrangement. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amounts due to suppliers that participate in the Company's supplier finance program were approximately $29.4 million and $30.7 million, respectively, which are included in accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(2) Wesco attributes revenues from external customers to individual countries on the basis of point of sale. Due to the terms of certain contractual arrangements, Wesco bills or receives payment from its customers in advance of satisfying the respective performance obligation. Such advance billings or payments are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when the performance obligation has been satisfied and control has transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. Deferred revenue is usually recognized within a year or less from the date of the advance billing or payment. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $104.8 million and $99.6 million, respectively, of deferred revenue was recorded as a component of other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized $21.0 million and $42.0 million of revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022. The amount of revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 that was deferred as of December 31, 2021 was not material. The Company also has certain long-term contractual arrangements where revenue is recognized over time based on the cost-to-cost input method. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had contract assets of $40.7 million and $27.5 million, respectively, resulting from contracts where the amount of revenue recognized exceeded the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets. Wesco’s revenues are adjusted for variable consideration, which includes customer volume rebates, returns and discounts. Wesco measures variable consideration by estimating expected outcomes using analysis and inputs based upon historical data, as well as current and forecasted information. Variable consideration is reviewed by management on a monthly basis and revenue is adjusted accordingly. Variable consideration reduced revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 by approximately $118.5 million and $108.5 million, respectively, and by approximately $215.0 million and $203.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The variable consideration for the three months ended June 30, 2022 reflects an adjustment that increased the previously disclosed amount by $6.2 million and the variable consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects an adjustment that reduced the previously disclosed amount by $13.9 million. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's estimated product return obligation was $41.9 million and $46.5 million, respectively. Billings to customers for shipping and handling are recognized in net sales. Wesco has elected to recognize shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost. Shipping and handling costs recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $79.1 million and $76.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $156.0 million and $144.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Notes

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	Wesco’s stock-based compensation awards consist of stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant and compensation cost is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights is determined using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance-based awards with performance conditions is determined by the grant-date closing price of Wesco’s common stock. The forfeiture assumption is based on Wesco’s historical participant behavior that is reviewed on at least an annual basis. For stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights that are exercised, and for restricted stock units and performance-based awards that vest, shares are issued out of Wesco's outstanding common stock. Stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over a three-year period and terminate on the tenth anniversary of the grant date unless terminated sooner under certain conditions. Restricted stock unit awards that were granted under the Company’s 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, vest fully on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The special award described below vests in tranches. Restricted stock units awarded under the WESCO International, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which was adopted on May 27, 2021, vest ratably over a three-year period on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Vesting of performance-based awards is based on a three-year performance period, and the number of shares earned, if any, depends on the attainment of certain performance levels. Outstanding awards would vest upon the consummation of a change in control transaction with performance-based awards vesting at the target level. On July 2, 2020, a special award of restricted stock units was granted to certain officers of the Company. These awards vested in tranches of 30% on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date and will vest 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment through the applicable anniversary date. Performance-based awards are based on two equally-weighted performance measures: the three-year average growth rate of Wesco's net income attributable to common stockholders and the three-year cumulative return on net assets. These awards are accounted for as awards with performance conditions; compensation cost is recognized over the performance period based upon Wesco's determination of whether it is probable that the performance targets will be achieved. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Wesco granted the following stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based awards at the following weighted-average fair values: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, Stock options granted 1,954 — 77,136 89,550 Weighted-average fair value $ 76.75 $ — $ 76.77 $ 57.26 Restricted stock units granted 3,295 — 173,864 224,946 Weighted-average fair value $ 138.11 $ — $ 170.41 $ 122.11 Performance-based awards granted (1) 3,074 — 211,445 83,991 Weighted-average fair value (1) $ 150.32 $ — $ 86.88 $ 122.09 (1) As described further below, the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes performance-based awards granted in February 2020 for which actual achievement levels were certified in February 2023, as well as performance-based awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The fair values of stock options, as disclosed in the table above, were estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions in the respective periods: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, Risk free interest rate 4.0 % n/a 4.1 % 1.9 % Expected life (in years) 5 n/a 5 7 Expected volatility 51 % n/a 50 % 43 % Expected dividend yield 0.89 % n/a 0.88 % n/a The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Daily Yield Curve rate as of the grant date. The expected life is based on historical exercise experience, the expected volatility is based on the volatility of the Company's daily stock price over the expected life preceding the grant date of the award, and the expected dividend yield is based on the calculated yield on the Company's common stock at date of grant using the current fiscal year projected dividend distribution rate. The Company did not pay dividends to holders of its common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the periods. The dilutive effect of common share equivalents is considered in the diluted earnings per share computation using the treasury stock method, which includes consideration of equity awards. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30 June 30 (In millions, except per share data) 2023 2022 (1) 2023 2022 (1) Net income attributable to WESCO International, Inc. $ 193.1 $ 220.7 $ 390.2 $ 401.9 Less: Preferred stock dividends 14.4 14.4 28.7 28.7 Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 178.7 $ 206.3 $ 361.5 $ 373.2 Weighted-average common shares outstanding used in computing basic earnings per share 51.3 50.7 51.1 50.7 Common shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive equity awards 1.1 1.5 1.3 1.6 Weighted-average common shares outstanding and common share equivalents used in computing diluted earnings per share 52.4 52.2 52.4 52.2 Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders Basic $ 3.48 $ 4.07 $ 7.07 $ 7.37 Diluted $ 3.41 $ 3.95 $ 6.90 $ 7.15 (1) Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were previously calculated and reported based on amounts as presented in thousands.

FAIR VALUE (Notes)

FAIR VALUE (Notes)	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank overdrafts, outstanding indebtedness, foreign currency forward contracts, and benefit plan assets. Except for benefit plan assets, outstanding indebtedness and foreign currency forward contracts, the carrying value of the Company’s other financial instruments approximates fair value. The assets of the Company's various defined benefit plans are primarily comprised of common/collective/pool funds (i.e., mutual funds). These funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held in the underlying funds. Investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a market approach to determine the fair value of its debt instruments, utilizing quoted prices in active markets, interest rates and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar instruments. Therefore, the inputs used to measure the fair value of the Company's debt instruments are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of Wesco's debt instruments with fixed interest rates was $2,823.1 million and $2,881.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The estimated fair value of this debt was $2,876.3 million and $2,929.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The reported carrying values of Wesco's other debt instruments, including those with variable interest rates, approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company purchases foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency-denominated accounts on its earnings. The foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company's strategy is to negotiate terms for its derivatives and other financial instruments to be highly effective, such that the change in the value of the derivative offsets the impact of the underlying hedge. Its counterparties to foreign currency forward contracts have investment-grade credit ratings. The Company regularly monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties to ensure no issues exist that could affect the value of its derivatives. The Company does not hedge 100% of its foreign currency-denominated accounts. In addition, the results of hedging can vary significantly based on various factors, such as the timing of executing foreign currency forward contracts versus the movement of currencies, as well as fluctuations in the account balances throughout each reporting period. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on the difference between the contract rate and the current price of a forward contract with an equivalent remaining term. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is measured using observable market information. These inputs are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, foreign currency forward contracts were revalued at then-current foreign exchange rates with the changes in valuation reflected directly in other non-operating expense (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income offsetting the transaction gain (loss) recorded on foreign currency-denominated accounts. The gross and net notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding were approximately $132.9 million and $172.8 million, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. While all of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts are subject to master netting arrangements with its counterparties, assets and liabilities related to these contracts are presented on a gross basis within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gross fair value of assets and liabilities related to foreign currency forward contracts were immaterial.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	From time to time, a number of lawsuits and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including litigation relating to commercial, product and employment matters (including wage and hour). The outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits may be determined adversely to Wesco. However, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on Wesco's financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any fiscal period of one or more of these matters may have a material adverse effect on Wesco's results of operations for that period.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 27.2% and 26.5%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rates reflect discrete income tax benefits of $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, resulting from the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards. These discrete income tax benefits reduced the effective tax rates in such periods by approximately 0.3 and 0.1 percentage points, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 22.9% and 22.6%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rates reflect discrete income tax benefits of $22.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, resulting from the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the effective tax rate also reflects a discrete income tax benefit of $13.4 million resulting from a reduction to the valuation allowance recorded against foreign tax credit carryforwards. These discrete income tax benefits reduced the effective tax rates in such periods by approximately 4.4 and 3.7 percentage points, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, and the inclusion of global intangible low-taxed income. There have been no material adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions since December 31, 2022.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Business Combination Disclosure	Rahi Systems Holdings, Inc. On November 1, 2022, through its wholly-owned subsidiary WESCO Distribution, Inc. (“Wesco Distribution”), the Company acquired 100% of the equity securities of Rahi Systems Holdings, Inc. (“Rahi Systems” or “Rahi”). Headquartered in Fremont, California, Rahi Systems is a leading provider of global hyperscale data center solutions with over 900 employees in 25 countries. Rahi's expertise with complex information technology projects and global presence strengthen Wesco's data center solution offerings. Wesco Distribution funded the purchase price paid at closing with cash on hand as well as borrowings under its accounts receivable securitization and revolving credit facilities. Since the initial measurement of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company has recorded adjustments to inventories of $21.8 million and accounts payable of $28.0 million. The net impact of these adjustments was an increase to goodwill of $6.2 million. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary calculations and valuations using estimates and assumptions at the time of acquisition. As the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the acquisition date), estimates and assumptions for the preliminary purchase consideration allocations may change materially. The results of operations of Rahi Systems are included in Wesco's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on November 1, 2022, the acquisition date. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income includes $150.3 million and $286.6 million of net sales, respectively, and an immaterial amount of income from operations for Rahi Systems. The Company has not presented supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined business as the acquisition of Rahi Systems is not material to Wesco's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
