Sales of customer receivables. Previously, GE businesses sold customer receivables to our Working Capital Solutions (WCS) business. These programs were discontinued in 2021. Separately, the Company from time to time sells current or long-term receivables to third parties in response to customer-sponsored requests or programs, to facilitate sales, or for risk mitigation purposes. Activity related to current customer receivables sold by GE businesses is as follows:
