Allowance for Credit Losses [Abstract]
Loans and leases receivable	The Company records interest income and any fees or costs related to financing receivables using the effective interest method over the term of the lease or loan. The Company reviews the aging of its financing receivables to determine past due and delinquent accounts. Credit quality is reviewed at inception and is re-evaluated as needed based on customer specific circumstances. Receivable balances greater than 60 days past due are reviewed and may be placed on nonaccrual status based on customer-specific circumstances. Upon receipt of payment on nonaccrual financing receivables, interest income is recognized and accrual of interest is resumed once the account has been made current or the specific circumstances have been resolved.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for when a loan ceases to accrue interest or other revenue because the borrower is in financial difficulty. May also describe the treatment of previously earned but uncollected interest income on loans in nonaccrual status, how cash received from borrowers is recorded on loans that are in nonaccrual status, and the policy for resuming accrual of interest. Also includes the policy for charging off uncollectible loans and trade receivables, and the policy for determining past-due or delinquency status (i.e. whether past-due status is based on how recently payments have been received or on contractual terms).
