Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Book Overdrafts
Book overdrafts of $329,498 and $400,323 as of October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, 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 October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, or any balance on any given date.
Trade Accounts Receivable Factoring Programs
We have several uncommitted factoring programs under which trade accounts receivable of several large customers may be sold, without recourse, to financial institutions. Available capacity under these programs is dependent on the amount of trade accounts receivable already sold into these programs and the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables. At October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, we had a total of $293,097, and $276,808, respectively, of trade accounts receivable sold to and held by financial institutions under these programs. Factoring fees of $947 and $1,058 incurred for the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014, respectively, and $3,263 and $3,276 incurred for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014, respectively, related to the sale of trade accounts receivable under these facilities are included in “other” in the other expense (income) section of our consolidated statement of income.
Impairment of Internally Developed Software
We began our program to deploy a new global ERP system seven years ago. Over that period, the business has significantly diversified and new technologies allow legacy systems and diverse applications to easily be connected in a modular way, which allows these legacy systems to be part of a flexible, powerful and efficient solution. After careful evaluation, we have concluded that this combined systems strategy is better aligned with our evolving business model and is more flexible and economical than a single global system. Accordingly, we have stopped our global ERP deployment and recorded a non-cash, pre-tax charge related to the impairment of internally developed software of $115,856 during the second quarter of 2015. We recognized a tax benefit on the impairment at the applicable rates, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits of $14,580 as a result of the decision to stop deployments.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-05, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement", which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments do not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. As a result of the amendments, all software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. The standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We continue to evaluate the impact of the new guidance on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP.  The new standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services.  The accounting standard is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this standard, and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. Early adoption is permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. We are currently in the process of assessing what impact this new standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15,"Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-Of-Credit Arrangements and Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting". The guidance in the previously issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, and we intend to adopt this standard in 2016.
