Receivables [Abstract] |
Accounts and Nontrade Receivable | ReceivablesOn January 5, 2022, the Company entered into a one-year arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain customer receivables outright without recourse on a continuous basis. All such sales are at Arconic's discretion. Under this arrangement, the Company serves in an administrative capacity, including collection of the receivables from the respective customers and remittance of these cash collections to the financial institution. Accordingly, upon the sale of customer receivables to the financial institution, Arconic removes the underlying trade receivables from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and includes the reduction as a positive amount in the Decrease (Increase) in receivables line item within Operating Activities on the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. At no time can the outstanding balance due to the financial institution exceed $225 (increased in February from original amount of $100). In the 2022 first quarter, the Company sold $221 in customer receivables and remitted $158 in cash collections to the financial institution. Of the total amount of customer receivables sold in the 2022 first quarter, $77 were included in Receivables from customers on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021.
