NOTE 11. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Contract Balances

Contract assets arise when we recognize revenue for providing goods or services in advance of billing our customers. Our contract assets typically relate to our long-term contracts where we recognize revenue using the cost-based input method and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer.

Our contract assets also include receivables related to sales-type leases recognized over the lease term as the customer is billed. Contract assets are amortized as the customer is billed for services. Contract assets are recorded in “Trade accounts receivable and contract assets, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities arise when we bill our customers and receive consideration in advance of providing the goods or service. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the service or equipment has been provided to the customer. Contract liabilities are recorded in “Contract liabilities” or “Other noncurrent liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes our contract asset and liability balances:
