Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the company, without audit, with the exception of the July 1, 2017 consolidated balance sheet, which was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the company’s fiscal 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements include consolidated balance sheets, consolidated results of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s fiscal 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain footnote disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations for interim financial statements. Reclassifications Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Changes in Accounting	CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING Stock Compensation In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) . The ASU identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The company elected to maintain the current policy to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine stock-based compensation expense. Further, the company adopted the provisions that have changed its accounting for excess tax benefits, or detriments. Excess tax benefits, or detriments, were previously included within additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet and were a part of the diluted share calculation. With the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis, excess tax benefits, or detriments, are included within income tax expense in the consolidated results of operations and are no longer a part of the diluted share calculation. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the company recognized excess tax benefits of $16.0 million from stock option exercises that occurred during the quarter. The standard also requires several presentation changes with regard to the statement of cash flows. Cash flows related to excess tax benefits or detriments are included in net cash provided by operating activities, rather than as a financing activity. Sysco chose a retrospective application of this provision; therefore, amounts presented for fiscal 2017 reflect the guidance required by this ASU. The standard further requires that cash paid by an employer, when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes, should be classified as a financing activity. Retrospective application is required for this provision; however, amounts were not material for either period and, therefore, were not separately disclosed or retroactively applied. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The company elected to early adopt this ASU, as it is easier to execute.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging , which expands and refines hedge accounting for both financial and non-financial risk components, aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of hedging instruments and hedge items in the financial statements, and includes certain targeted improvements to ease the application of current guidance related to the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods, which is the first quarter of fiscal 2020 for Sysco, with early adoption permitted. The company is currently reviewing the provisions of the new standard. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , specifying the accounting for leases, which supersedes the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases . The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lessors’ accounting is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, Topic 842 expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of practical expedients. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, which is fiscal 2020 for Sysco, with early adoption permitted. The company is currently reviewing the provisions of the new standard. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has issued subsequent amendments to this guidance. This new standard will replace all current guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods within new fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which is fiscal 2019 for Sysco, and could be early adopted in fiscal 2018. The standard may be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The company’s impact assessment of the standard is ongoing, and the company does not intend to early adopt this standard in fiscal 2018. Enhanced disclosures, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations to customers and significant judgments in measurement and recognition, are required. We will continue our assessment, which may identify other impacts of the adoption of Topic 606. The company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and preliminarily expects to use the modified retrospective method. However, our adoption method is subject to change as we continue to evaluate the impact of the standard.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	ACQUISITIONS During the first 13 weeks of fiscal 2018 , the company had no acquisitions. Certain prior year acquisitions involved contingent consideration that included earnout agreements that are typically payable over periods of up to three years in the event that certain operating results are achieved. As of September 30, 2017 , aggregate contingent consideration outstanding was $11.3 million , of which $2.1 million was recorded as earnout liabilities. Brakes Group On July 5, 2016, Sysco consummated its acquisition of Cucina Lux Investments Limited (a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of England and Wales), a holding company of the Brakes Group, pursuant to an agreement for the sale and purchase of securities in the capital of the Brakes Group, dated as of February 19, 2016 (the Purchase Agreement), by and among Sysco, entities affiliated with Bain Capital Investors, LLC, and members of management of the Brakes Group (the Brakes Acquisition).

Fair Value Measurements	Sep. 30, 2017
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The accounting guidance includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which include management’s own assumption about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Sysco’s policy is to invest in only high-quality investments. Cash equivalents primarily include time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, high-quality money market funds and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value: • Time deposits and commercial paper included in cash equivalents are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These are included within cash equivalents as a Level 2 measurement in the tables below. • Money market funds are valued at the closing price reported by the fund sponsor from an actively traded exchange. These are included within cash equivalents as Level 1 measurements in the tables below. • The interest rate swap agreements are valued using a swap valuation model that utilizes an income approach using observable market inputs including interest rates, LIBOR swap rates and credit default swap rates. These are included as Level 2 measurements in the tables below. • The foreign currency swap agreements, including cross-currency swaps, are valued using a swap valuation model that utilizes an income approach applying observable market inputs including interest rates, LIBOR swap rates for U.S. dollars, pound sterling and Euro currencies, and credit default swap rates. These are included as Level 2 measurements in the tables below. • Foreign currency forwards are valued based on exchange rates quoted by domestic and foreign banks for similar instruments. These are included as Level 2 measurements in the tables below. • Fuel swap contracts are valued based on observable market transactions of forward commodity prices. These are included as Level 2 measurements in the tables below. The following tables present the company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 , July 1, 2017 and October 1, 2016 : Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value as of Sep. 30, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In thousands) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents $ 287,203 $ 43,191 $ — $ 330,394 Other current assets: Interest rate swaps — 223 — 223 Foreign currency forwards — 461 — 461 Fuel swaps — 4,743 — 4,743 Other assets: Foreign currency swaps — 5,912 — 5,912 Total assets at fair value $ 287,203 $ 54,530 $ — $ 341,733 Liabilities: Other current liabilities: Foreign currency forwards $ — $ 118 $ — $ 118 Other long-term liabilities: Interest rate swaps — 22,653 — 22,653 Cross-currency swaps — 15,115 — 15,115 Foreign currency swaps — 34,114 — 34,114 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 72,000 $ — $ 72,000 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value as of Jul. 1, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In thousands) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents $ 238,954 $ 49,430 $ — $ 288,384 Other current assets: Fuel swaps — 717 — 717 Other assets: Interest rate swaps — 707 — 707 Total assets at fair value $ 238,954 $ 50,854 $ — $ 289,808 Liabilities: Other current liabilities: Fuel swaps $ — $ 6,320 $ — $ 6,320 Foreign currency forwards — 154 — 154 Other long-term liabilities: Interest rate swaps — 21,390 — 21,390 Cross-currency swaps — 5,816 — 5,816 Foreign currency swaps — 12,308 — 12,308 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 45,988 $ — $ 45,988 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value as of Oct. 1, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In thousands) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents $ 9,176 $ 43,270 $ — $ 52,446 Other current assets: Foreign currency forwards — 873 — 873 Other assets Interest rate swap agreement — 18,935 — 18,935 Foreign currency swaps — 3,979 — 3,979 Total assets at fair value $ 9,176 $ 67,057 $ — $ 76,233 Liabilities: Other current liabilities: Fuel hedges $ — $ 618 $ — $ 618 Other long-term liabilities Cross-currency swaps — 3,184 — 3,184 Foreign currency swaps — 10,695 — 10,695 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 14,497 $ — $ 14,497 The carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their respective fair values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of Sysco’s total debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the company for new debt with the same maturities as existing debt, and is considered a Level 2 measurement. The fair value of total debt was approximately $9.4 billion , $8.6 billion and $8.4 billion as of September 30, 2017 , July 1, 2017 and October 1, 2016 , respectively. The carrying value of total debt was $9.0 billion , $8.2 billion and $7.8 billion as of September 30, 2017 , July 1, 2017 and October 1, 2016 , respectively.

For fair value hedges of interest rate risk, hedge ineffectiveness represents the difference between the changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments and the changes in fair value of the fixed rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. For cash flow hedges, hedge ineffectiveness is the difference between the change in the fair value of the derivative and the change in the hedged transaction. Hedge ineffectiveness is recorded directly in earnings within interest expense for interest rate swaps, other income and expense, net for hedging of the foreign exchange risk on intercompany loans, cost of sales for foreign exchange risk on inventory purchases and operating expense for fuel hedging. All amounts were immaterial for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017 . None of the instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features.

Share-Based Compensation	Sep. 30, 2017
Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Sysco provides compensation benefits to employees under several share-based payment arrangements, including various long-term employee stock incentive plans and the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Stock Incentive Plans In the first quarter of fiscal 2018 , options to purchase 4,018,653 shares were granted to employees. The fair value of each option award is estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value per option granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $7.08 . In the first quarter of fiscal 2018 , 857,527 performance share units (PSUs) were granted to employees. Based on the jurisdiction in which the employee resides, some of these PSUs were granted with forfeitable dividend equivalents. The fair value of each PSU award granted with a dividend equivalent is based on the company’s stock price as of the date of grant. For PSUs granted without dividend equivalents, the fair value was reduced by the present value of expected dividends during the vesting period. The weighted average grant-date fair value per performance share unit granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $51.09 . The PSUs will convert into shares of Sysco common stock at the end of the performance period based on financial performance targets consisting of Sysco’s earnings per share compound annual growth rate and adjusted return on invested capital. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Plan participants purchased 280,673 shares of common stock under the Sysco ESPP during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 . The weighted average fair value per right of employee stock purchase rights issued pursuant to the ESPP was $7.55 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 . The fair value of the stock purchase rights is estimated as the difference between the stock price and the employee purchase price. All Share-Based Payment Arrangements The total share-based compensation cost that has been recognized in results of operations was $28.0 million and $25.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 , respectively. As of September 30, 2017 , there was $145.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.23 years.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2017
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES Effective Tax Rate Sysco’s effective tax rate is reflective of the jurisdictions where the company has operations. Indefinitely reinvested earnings taxed at foreign statutory rates less than our domestic tax rate have the impact of reducing the effective tax rates. The effective tax rates for the first quarters of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 were 32.72% and 35.28% , respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 is primarily due to the favorable impact of the excess tax benefits of equity-based compensation that totaled $16.0 million . Sysco began recognizing these amounts within income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09. Uncertain Tax Positions As of September 30, 2017 , the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefit and related accrued interest was $16.2 million and $11.1 million , respectively. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of the company’s unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease in the next twelve months, either because Sysco prevails on positions challenged upon audit or because the company agrees to the disallowance. Items that may cause changes to unrecognized tax benefits primarily include the consideration of various filing requirements in numerous states and the allocation of income and expense between tax jurisdictions. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change cannot be made. Other The determination of the company’s provision for income taxes requires judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The company’s provision for income taxes reflects a combination of income earned and taxed in the various U.S. federal and state, as well as foreign, jurisdictions. Jurisdictional tax law changes, increases or decreases in permanent differences between book and tax items, accruals or adjustments of accruals for unrecognized tax benefits or valuation allowances, and the company’s change in the mix of earnings from these taxing jurisdictions all affect the overall effective tax rate.

Commitments and Contingencies	Sep. 30, 2017
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings Sysco is engaged in various legal proceedings that have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss for these legal proceedings, based on definitions within contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible to probable. When probable and reasonably estimable, the losses have been accrued. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the company. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and if the company failed to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses were to exceed the company’s current estimates of the range of potential losses, the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment Information	BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION The company has aggregated certain of its operating companies into three reportable segments. “Other” financial information is attributable to the company’s other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative disclosure thresholds. • U.S. Foodservice Operations - primarily includes U.S. Broadline operations, custom-cut meat and seafood companies, FreshPoint (our specialty produce companies) and European Imports (a specialty import company); • International Foodservice Operations - primarily includes broadline operations in Canada, Europe, Bahamas, Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama, as well as a company that distributes to international customers; • SYGMA - our customized distribution subsidiary; and • Other - primarily our hotel supply operations and Sysco Labs, which includes our suite of technology solutions that help support the business needs of our customers and provides support for some of our business technology needs. Broadline operating companies distribute a full line of food products and a wide variety of non-food products to both traditional and chain restaurant customers, hospitals, schools, hotels, industrial caterers and other venues where foodservice products are served. SYGMA operating companies distribute a full line of food products and a wide variety of non-food products to certain chain restaurant customer locations. The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those disclosed by Sysco for its consolidated financial statements. Management evaluates the performance of each of our operating segments based on its respective operating income results. Corporate expenses generally include all expenses of the corporate office and Sysco’s shared services center. These also include all share-based compensation costs. While a segment’s operating income may be impacted in the short-term by increases or decreases in gross profits, expenses, or a combination thereof, over the long-term each business segment is expected to increase its operating income at a greater rate than sales growth. This is consistent with our long-term goal of leveraging earnings growth at a greater rate than sales growth.

Guarantees [Abstract]
Supplemental Guarantor Information - Subsidiary Guarantees	SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION - SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES On January 19, 2011, the wholly owned U.S. Broadline subsidiaries of Sysco Corporation entered into full and unconditional guarantees of all outstanding senior notes and debentures of Sysco Corporation. Borrowings under the company’s revolving credit facility supporting the company’s U.S. and Canadian commercial paper programs are also covered under these guarantees. As of September 30, 2017 , Sysco had a total of $9.0 billion in senior notes, debentures and commercial paper issuances outstanding that was covered by these guarantees. All subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the parent company, all guarantees are full and unconditional and all guarantees are joint and several, except that the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor with respect to a series of senior notes or debentures may be released under certain customary circumstances. If we exercise our defeasance option with respect to the senior notes or debentures of any series, then any subsidiary guarantor effectively will be released with respect to that series. Further, each subsidiary guarantee will remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of the date, if any, on which (1) the applicable subsidiary guarantor shall consolidate with or merge into Sysco Corporation or any successor of Sysco Corporation or (2) Sysco Corporation or any successor of Sysco Corporation consolidates with or merges into the applicable subsidiary guarantor. In conjunction with the preparation of our September 30, 2017 condensed consolidating financial statements, the company identified certain wholly owned U.S. Broadline subsidiaries that are guarantors of the outstanding senior notes and debentures of Sysco Corporation but were presented within Other Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries during fiscal 2017. The fiscal 2017 Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet and Statements of Comprehensive Income and Cash flows included herein have been revised to present such U.S. Broadline subsidiaries as guarantor subsidiaries. The company assessed the materiality of the incorrect guarantor disclosures and concluded that the misstatement was not material to the financial statements as a whole, but have provided revised information below for the sake of consistency with the current period disclosures. The following condensed consolidating financial statements present separately the financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows of the parent issuer (Sysco Corporation), the guarantors (the company’s U.S. Broadline subsidiaries), and all other non-guarantor subsidiaries of Sysco (Other Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) on a combined basis with eliminating entries.

New Accounting Standards (Polic

New Accounting Standards (Policies)	3 Months Ended
New Accounting Standards (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	Stock Compensation In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) . The ASU identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The company elected to maintain the current policy to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine stock-based compensation expense. Further, the company adopted the provisions that have changed its accounting for excess tax benefits, or detriments. Excess tax benefits, or detriments, were previously included within additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet and were a part of the diluted share calculation. With the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis, excess tax benefits, or detriments, are included within income tax expense in the consolidated results of operations and are no longer a part of the diluted share calculation. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the company recognized excess tax benefits of $16.0 million from stock option exercises that occurred during the quarter. The standard also requires several presentation changes with regard to the statement of cash flows. Cash flows related to excess tax benefits or detriments are included in net cash provided by operating activities, rather than as a financing activity. Sysco chose a retrospective application of this provision; therefore, amounts presented for fiscal 2017 reflect the guidance required by this ASU. The standard further requires that cash paid by an employer, when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes, should be classified as a financing activity. Retrospective application is required for this provision; however, amounts were not material for either period and, therefore, were not separately disclosed or retroactively applied. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The company elected to early adopt this ASU, as it is easier to execute. Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging , which expands and refines hedge accounting for both financial and non-financial risk components, aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of hedging instruments and hedge items in the financial statements, and includes certain targeted improvements to ease the application of current guidance related to the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods, which is the first quarter of fiscal 2020 for Sysco, with early adoption permitted. The company is currently reviewing the provisions of the new standard. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , specifying the accounting for leases, which supersedes the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases . The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lessors’ accounting is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, Topic 842 expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of practical expedients. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, which is fiscal 2020 for Sysco, with early adoption permitted. The company is currently reviewing the provisions of the new standard. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has issued subsequent amendments to this guidance. This new standard will replace all current guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods within new fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which is fiscal 2019 for Sysco, and could be early adopted in fiscal 2018. The standard may be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The company’s impact assessment of the standard is ongoing, and the company does not intend to early adopt this standard in fiscal 2018. Enhanced disclosures, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations to customers and significant judgments in measurement and recognition, are required. We will continue our assessment, which may identify other impacts of the adoption of Topic 606. The company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and preliminarily expects to use the modified retrospective method. However, our adoption method is subject to change as we continue to evaluate the impact of the standard.
