Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | Acquisitions The Company did not complete any business acquisitions during the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2020 and completed three business acquisitions during the year ended July 31, 2021. All of these transactions were accounted for using business combination accounting; therefore, the results of the acquired operations are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements only since their acquisition dates. Fiscal 2021 On May 21, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Magicard Holdings Limited (“Magicard”), based in Weymouth, United Kingdom, for $56,694, net of cash received. Magicard is a manufacturer of identification card printers with high-resolution, full-color image capabilities, built-in security features and the ability to encode smart cards. The intangible assets consist of a customer relationship of $18,303, which is being amortized over eight years, technology of $2,837, which is being amortized over five years and a tradename of $567, which is being amortized over two years. The goodwill acquired of $43,235 is not tax-deductible. Magicard has a complementary product offering that allows the Company to offer new printing and encoding capabilities to both new and existing customers and is included in the Company’s IDS segment. On April 15, 2021, the Company launched an all-cash tender offer in Finland to acquire all of the outstanding, publicly-held shares of Nordic ID Oyj, a Finnish corporation (“Nordic ID”) based in Salo, Finland. Nordic ID specializes in RFID readers, scanners, and the associated software to power track-and-trace applications in industrial manufacturing. On May 21, 2021, the Company acquired the shares validly tendered as part of the tender offer for $9,804 plus the assumption of debt of $4,668. The intangible assets consist of a customer relationship of $3,803, which is being amortized over ten years and technology of $600, which is being amortized over six years. The goodwill acquired of $12,584 is not tax-deductible. On December 23, 2021, Brady finalized the squeeze-out process and acquired all remaining outstanding shares and completed the delisting procedures from the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland. Nordic ID is included in the Company's IDS segment. On June 16, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of The Code Corporation (“Code”), based in Salt Lake City, Utah, for $172,815, net of cash received. Code specializes in high-quality barcode scanners and the associated software to power track and trace applications in a variety of industries. Initial financing for this acquisition consisted of $75,000 from the Company’s revolving loan agreement and the balance from cash on hand. The intangible assets consist of a customer relationship of $44,500, which is being amortized over nine years, technology of $6,200, which is being amortized over five years and a tradename of $600, which is being amortized over three years. The goodwill acquired of $139,347 is not tax-deductible and was reduced by $693 subsequent to the acquisition due to customary working capital adjustments. The final purchase price allocation is subject to post-closing adjustments pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. Code has a complementary product offering that allows the Company to expand in the industrial track and trace market and is included in the Company’s IDS segment.
