Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Remaining Performance Obligation [Text Block] | Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO)RPO represent the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. Total RPO was $147.4 billion and $150.1 billion as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Of the total RPO as of March 31, 2021, we expect approximately 30% will be recognized as sales over the next 12 months. This percentage of RPO to be recognized as sales over the next 12 months depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the scope, severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as any worsening of the pandemic, the effect of mutating strains and whether additional outbreaks of the pandemic will continue to occur, actions to contain the pandemic’s spread or treat its impact, continued availability of vaccines, and their distribution, acceptance and efficacy, and governmental, business and individual personal actions taken in response to the pandemic, which may result in customer delays or order cancellations.
