Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The Company evaluates these estimates on a regular basis and bases them on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and work force participation and created volatility and disruption of financial markets, the impact of which was most acute during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. As of February 28, 2021, due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, many of the estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, these estimates may change in future periods. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Concentration of credit risk

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, receivables from vendors and derivative instruments.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing, and their compositions and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Through February 28, 2021, the Company has not experienced any credit losses on such deposits and derivative instruments.

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers, including related party customers. Receivables from vendors, net, includes amounts due from original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) vendors primarily in the technology industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for potential credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of its receivable portfolio, the existence of a limited amount of credit insurance and specifically identified customer and vendor risks. The company also considers risks attributed to COVID-19 in establishing the required allowances. Through February 28, 2021, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

One customer accounted for 18% and 19% of the Company’s total revenue during the three months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. Products purchased from the Company’s largest OEM supplier, HP Inc., accounted for approximately 14% of total revenue during both the three months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020.

As of February 28, 2021 and November 30, 2020, one customer comprised 17% and 15%, respectively, of the consolidated accounts receivable balance.
Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is computed based on the weighted-average method. Inventories are comprised of finished goods and work-in-process. Finished goods include products purchased for resale, system components purchased for both resale and for use in the Company’s projects and integration-based completed systems. Work-in-process inventories are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment

Segments

Operating segments are based on components of the Company that engage in business activities that earn revenues and incur expenses (a) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocation and performance and (b) for which discrete financial information is available.

The Company had two reportable segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. After giving effect to the Separation of the Concentrix segment, the Company now operates a single reportable segment, which represents an aggregation of four geographic operating segments of United States, Canada, Japan and Latin America. The company distributes peripherals, IT systems, including data center servers, system components, software, networking, communications and security equipment, consumer electronics and complementary products to a variety of customers, including value-added resellers, system integrators and retailers. The company also designs and integrates data center equipment built specific to the customers' data center environment.
Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of various IT products.

The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of IT hardware and software as control is transferred to customers, which is at the point in time when the product is shipped or delivered. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of collection. Binding purchase orders from customers together with agreement to the Company's terms and conditions of sale by way of an executed agreement or other signed documents are considered to be the contract with a customer. Products sold by the Company are delivered via shipment from the Company’s facilities, drop-shipment directly from the vendor, or by electronic delivery of software products. In situations where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions, revenue is recognized when the Company can objectively verify the products comply with specifications underlying acceptance and the customer has control of the products. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities. The Company generally invoices a customer upon shipment, or in accordance with specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component. Service revenues represents less than 10% of the total net sales for the periods presented.

Provisions for sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical data and are recorded concurrently with the recognition of revenue. A liability is recorded at the time of sale for estimated product returns based upon historical experience and an asset is recognized for the amount expected to be recorded in inventory upon product return. These provisions are reviewed and adjusted periodically by the Company. Revenue is reduced for early payment discounts and volume incentive rebates offered to customers, which are considered variable consideration, at the time of sale based on an evaluation of the contract terms and historical experience.

The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis on certain contracts, where the Company’s performance obligation is to arrange for the products or services to be provided by another party or the rendering of logistics services for the delivery of inventory for which the Company does not assume the risks and rewards of ownership, by recognizing the margins earned in revenue with no associated cost of revenue. Such arrangements include supplier service contracts, post-contract software support services and extended warranty contracts.

The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the sale of products. Shipping revenue is included in revenue when control of the product is transferred to the customer, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold.
Recently adopted and issued accounting pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendment requires the Company to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates used in cash balance pension plans. It also requires the Company to disclose the reasons for significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets including significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing or modifying certain disclosure requirements and adding other requirements. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. This guidance was applicable to the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss standard that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. This new standard is to be adopted by way of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. This guidance was applicable to the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on financial reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
Offsetting of Derivatives In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements.
