Organization and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation Ingram Micro Inc. and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the distribution of information technology (“IT”) products and supply chain solutions worldwide. Ingram Micro Inc. and its subsidiaries operate in North America; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); Asia-Pacific; and Latin America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ingram Micro Inc. and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms “Ingram Micro,” “we,” “us” and “our” in these notes to the consolidated financial statements refers to Ingram Micro Inc. and its subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state our consolidated financial position as of July 2, 2011, our consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 and our consolidated cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, these consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures and footnotes normally included with annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended January 1, 2011. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2011 may not be indicative of the consolidated results of operations that can be expected for the full year. Book Overdrafts Book overdrafts of $418,018 and $517,107 as of July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively, represent checks issued on disbursement bank accounts but not yet paid by such banks. These amounts are classified as accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheet. We typically fund these overdrafts through normal collections of funds or transfers from other bank balances at other financial institutions. Under the terms of our facilities with the banks, the respective financial institutions are not legally obligated to honor the book overdraft balances as of July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, or any balance on any given date. Trade Accounts Receivable Factoring Programs We have an uncommitted factoring program in North America under which trade accounts receivable of one of our larger customers may be sold, without recourse, to a financial institution. The program’s total amount of receivables that may be factored at any one point in time cannot exceed $150,000. We also have an uncommitted factoring program in EMEA under which trade accounts receivable of another of our larger customers may be sold, without recourse, to a financial institution. The program’s total amount of receivables that may be factored at any one point in time cannot exceed €40,000, or approximately $58,000, at July 2, 2011. Available capacity under these programs is dependent on the amount of trade accounts receivable already sold to and held by the financial institutions, the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold into these programs and the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables. At July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, we had a total of $163,714 and $112,484, respectively, of trade accounts receivable sold to and held by the financial institutions under these programs. Factoring fees in the amount of $732 for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 and $1,574 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2011 related to the sale of trade accounts receivable under both facilities are included in “other” in the other expense (income) section of our consolidated statement of income. There were no factoring fees in the thirteen or twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2010.
