Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Nature of Products and Services

Substantially all of our revenue is from contracts with customers. We recognize revenue as promised products are transferred to, or services are performed for, customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those products and services. Our offerings consist of industrial automation and information products, solutions, and services.

Our products include hardware, software, and configured-to-order products. Our solutions include custom-engineered systems and software. Our services include customer technical support and repair, asset management and optimization consulting, and training. Also included in our services is a portion of revenue related to spare parts that are managed within our services offering.

Our operations are comprised of the Intelligent Devices segment, the Software & Control segment, and the Lifecycle Services segment. Revenue from the Intelligent Devices and Software & Control segments is predominantly comprised of product sales, which are recognized at a point in time. The Software & Control segment also contains revenue from software products, which may be recognized over time if certain criteria are met. Revenue from the Lifecycle Services segment is predominantly comprised of solutions and services, which are primarily recognized over time. See Note 15 for more information.

Unfulfilled Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2023, we expect to recognize approximately $1,126 million of revenue in future periods from unfulfilled performance obligations from existing contracts with customers. We expect to recognize revenue of approximately $716 million from our remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months with the remaining balance recognized thereafter.

We have applied the practical expedient to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original term of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice for services performed. The amounts above also do not include the impact of contract renewal options that are unexercised as of June 30, 2023.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following tables present our revenue disaggregation by geographic region for our three operating segments (in millions). We attribute sales to the geographic regions based on the country of destination.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities primarily relate to consideration received in advance of performance under the contract.

Below is a summary of our Contract liabilities balance, the portion not expected to be recognized within twelve months is included within Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (in millions):

	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022
Balance as of beginning of year	$	541.3	$	462.5
Balance as of end of period	672.5		549.5

The most significant changes in our Contract liabilities balance during both the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were due to amounts billed, partially offset by revenue recognized on amounts billed during the period and revenue recognized that was included in the Contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period.

In the nine months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized revenue of approximately $362.7 million that was included in the Contract liabilities balance at September 30, 2022. In the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized revenue of approximately $296.8 million that was included in the Contract liabilities balance at September 30, 2021. We did not have a material amount of revenue recognized in the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods.
