| New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items] | |||
| New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description | In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its standards related to the accounting for leases. Under the new standard, lessees are now required to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as both a ROU asset and a liability. The standard continues to have two types of leases for income statement recognition purposes: operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases result in the recognition of a single lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, similar to the treatment for operating leases under the old standard. Finance leases result in an accelerated expense similar to the accounting for capital leases under the old standard. The determination of a lease classification as operating or finance will occur in a manner similar to the old standard. The new standard also contains amended guidance regarding the identification of embedded leases in service contracts and the identification of lease and non-lease components of an arrangement. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and as a result did not adjust prior periods. Adoption of the standard resulted in the recording of $450 million of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, but did not have a material impact on our net income or cash flows. The cumulative effect adjustment of adopting the new standard was not material. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification and to not re-evaluate existing contracts as to whether or not they contained a lease. | ||

| ASU 2017-12 - Hedging | |||
| New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items] | |||
| New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description | On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new FASB standard related to accounting for derivatives and hedging. The new standard allows the initial hedge effectiveness assessment to be performed by the end of the first quarter in which the hedge is designated rather than concurrently with entering into the hedge transaction. The changes also expand the use of a periodic qualitative hedge effectiveness assessment in lieu of an ongoing quantitative assessment performed throughout the life of the hedge. The revision removes the requirement to record ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges through the income statement when a hedge is considered highly effective, instead deferring all related hedge gains and losses in other comprehensive income until the hedged item impacts earnings. The modifications permit hedging the contractually-specified price of a component of a commodity purchase and revises certain disclosure requirements. We adopted the new standard on a modified retrospective basis for existing cash flow hedges and prospectively for disclosures. The amendments did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements and no transition adjustment was required upon adoption. | ||
| ASU 2018-15 - Cloud Computing | |||
| New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items] | |||
| New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description | In August 2018, the FASB issued a new standard that aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement accounted for as a service contract with the model currently used for internal use software costs. Under the new standard, costs that meet certain criteria will be required to be capitalized on the balance sheet and subsequently amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement. The standard is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2020. We will adopt this standard on a prospective basis as allowed by the standard and as a result the adoption will not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. | ||
| ASU 2016-13 - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments | |||
| New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items] | |||
| New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description | In June 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This amendment introduces new guidance for accounting for credit losses on instruments including trade receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. The new rules are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We will adopt this standard for 2020 and we do not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. | ||
