Credit Loss [Abstract] |
Receivables | Receivables Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is principally determined based on aging of receivables. Receivables are exposed to credit risk based on the customers' ability to pay which is influenced by, among other factors, their financial liquidity. We perform ongoing customer credit evaluation to maintain sufficient allowances for potential credit losses. Our segments perform credit evaluation and monitoring to estimate and manage credit risk through the review of customer information, credit ratings, approval and monitoring of customer credit limits, and assessment of market conditions. We may also require prepayments or bank guarantees from customers to mitigate credit risk. Our receivables are generally short-term in nature with a majority of receivables outstanding less than 90 days. Account receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for credit losses of $9,243 and $9,045 at January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively. The change in the allowance for expected credit losses includes a provision for losses on receivables of $103 as well as an immaterial accounting standard adoption impact from ASU 2016-13 of $396 for the three months ended January 31, 2021 compared to a provision for losses on receivables $388 in the three months ended October 31, 2020, which were principally offset by write-offs of uncollectible accounts.
