CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS	9 Months Ended
CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS	Dec. 27, 2014
Research and Development [Abstract]
CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS	CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS For costs incurred related to the development of software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed, we apply the provisions of ASC 985-20, Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed, which specifies that costs incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product should be charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs should be capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. We capitalized $6.6 million and $3.4 million in software development costs for ongoing initiatives during the nine months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. At December 27, 2014 and March 29, 2014, we have a total of $38.3 million and $31.7 million of capitalized software costs, of which $8.9 million and $15.6 million are related to in-process software development initiatives, respectively. During fiscal 2015, our next generation plasma software received 510(k) approval and $12.9 million of capitalized costs were placed into service. The costs capitalized for each project are included in intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements. We review these assets for impairment at least annually.

The entire disclosure for research, development, and computer software activities, including contracts and arrangements to be performed for others and with federal government. Includes costs incurred (1) in a planned search or critical investigation aimed at discovery of new knowledge with the hope that such knowledge will be useful in developing a new product or service, a new process or technique, or in bringing about a significant improvement to an existing product or process; or (2) to translate research findings or other knowledge into a plan or design for a new product or process or for a significant improvement to an existing product or process whether intended for sale or the entity's use, during the reporting period charged to research and development projects, including the costs of developing computer software up to the point in time of achieving technological feasibility and in-process research and development acquired in a business combination consummated during the period.
