Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment and Revenue Information | Segment and Revenue Information Our primary profitability measurement to review segment operating results is Loss from operations. We operate in three reportable segments: BCA, BDS, and BGS. All other activities fall within Unallocated items, eliminations and other. See page 6 for the Summary of Business Segment Data, which is an integral part of this note. BCA develops, produces and markets commercial jet aircraft principally to the commercial airline industry worldwide. Revenue on commercial aircraft contracts is recognized at the point in time when an aircraft is completed and accepted by the customer. BDS engages in the research, development, production and modification of the following products and related services: manned and unmanned military aircraft and weapons systems, surveillance and engagement, strategic defense and intelligence systems, satellite systems and space exploration. BDS revenue is generally recognized over the contract term (over time) as costs are incurred. BGS provides parts, maintenance, modifications, logistics support, training, data analytics and information-based services to commercial and government customers worldwide. BGS segment revenue and costs include certain products and services provided to other segments. Revenue on commercial spare parts contracts is recognized at the point in time when a spare part is delivered to the customer. Revenue on other contracts is generally recognized over the contract term (over time) as costs are incurred. The following tables present BCA, BDS and BGS revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated in a number of ways, such as geographic location, contract type and the method of revenue recognition. We believe these best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. BCA revenues by customer location consisted of the following:

(1)Includes revenues earned from foreign military sales through the U.S. government. Backlog Our total backlog includes contracts that we and our customers are committed to perform. The value in backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on performance obligations to our customers for which work remains to be performed. Backlog is converted into revenue, primarily based on the cost incurred or at delivery and acceptance of products, depending on the applicable revenue recognition model. Our backlog at March 31, 2024 was $528,749. We expect approximately 27% to be converted to revenue through 2025 and approximately 71% through 2028, with the remainder thereafter. There is significant uncertainty regarding the timing of when backlog will convert into revenue. We may experience reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations due to production disruptions, and/or further delays to entry into service of the 777X, 737-7 and/or 737-10. Unallocated Items, Eliminations and Other Unallocated items, eliminations and other include common internal services that support Boeing’s global business operations and eliminations of certain sales between segments. We generally allocate costs to business segments based on the U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Components of Unallocated items, eliminations and other (expense)/income are shown in the following table.
| Three months ended March 31 |  |
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  |  |  |
Share-based plans | $10 |  |  | ($52) |  |  |  |  |
Deferred compensation | (30) |  |  | (54) |  |  |  |  |
Amortization of previously capitalized interest | (23) |  |  | (23) |  |  |  |  |
Research and development expense, net | (89) |  |  | (76) |  |  |  |  |
Eliminations and other unallocated items | (180) |  |  | (255) |  |  |  |  |
Unallocated items, eliminations and other | ($312) |  |  | ($460) |  |  |  |  |
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense Pension costs are allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government customers using CAS, which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP. These costs are allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to business segments based on CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. FAS/CAS service cost adjustment represents the difference between the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) pension and postretirement service costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. These expenses are included in Other income, net. Components of FAS/CAS service cost adjustment are shown in the following table:
| Three months ended March 31 |  |
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  |  |  |
Pension FAS/CAS service cost adjustment | $230 |  |  | $223 |  |  |  |  |
Postretirement FAS/CAS service cost adjustment | 72 |  |  | 68 |  |  |  |  |
FAS/CAS service cost adjustment | $302 |  |  | $291 |  |  |  |  |
