Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Adient is a global leader in the automotive seating supplier industry. Adient has a leading market position in the Americas, Europe and China, and has longstanding relationships with the largest global original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in the automotive space. Adient's proprietary technologies extend into virtually every area of automotive seating solutions, including complete seating systems, frames, mechanisms, foam, head restraints, armrests, trim covers and fabrics. Adient is an independent seat supplier with global scale and the capability to design, develop, engineer, manufacture, and deliver complete seat systems and components in every major automotive producing region in the world. Adient also participates in the automotive interiors market primarily through its global automotive interiors joint venture in China, Yanfeng Global Automotive Interior Systems Co., Ltd., or YFAI. Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Adient have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed) that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Adient for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. Principles of Consolidations Adient consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities in which it has a controlling interest. Investments in partially-owned affiliates are accounted for by the equity method when Adient's interest exceeds 20% and does not have a controlling interest. Consolidated VIEs Based upon the criteria set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, "Consolidation," Adient has determined that it was the primary beneficiary in two variable interest entities (VIEs) for the reporting periods ended December 31 , 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively, as Adient absorbs significant economics of the entities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities. The two VIEs manufacture seating products in North America for the automotive industry. Adient funds the entities' short-term liquidity needs through revolving credit facilities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities through its key customer supply relationships. The carrying amounts and classification of assets (none of which are restricted) and liabilities included in Adient's consolidated statements of financial position for the consolidated VIEs are as follows: December 31, September 30, (in millions) 2018 2018 Current assets $ 221 $ 270 Noncurrent assets 42 43 Total assets $ 263 $ 313 Current liabilities $ 197 $ 252 Total liabilities $ 197 $ 252 Earnings Per Share The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended December 31, (in millions, except per share data) 2018 2017 Numerator: Net income (loss) attributable to Adient $ (17 ) $ (216 ) Denominator: Shares outstanding 93.5 93.2 Effect of dilutive securities — — Diluted shares 93.5 93.2 Earnings per share: Basic $ (0.18 ) $ (2.32 ) Diluted $ (0.18 ) $ (2.32 ) Potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The impact of excluding antidilutive securities was insignificant for all periods presented. New Accounting Pronouncements Standards Adopted During Fiscal 2019 ASU 2014-09, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On October 1, 2018, Adient adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method as applied to all customer contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 606. Comparative financial information for reporting periods beginning prior to October 1, 2018 has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with Adient's revenue recognition policies prior to the adoption of ASC 606. Adient did not record a cumulative adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 606, and the effects of adoption were not significant. Refer to Note 2 , " Revenue Recognition ," of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for information related to Adient's adoption of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. On October 1, 2018, Adient adopted the amendments to ASU 2017-07 that improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs and retrospectively adopted the presentation of service cost separate from the other components of net periodic costs. The interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service costs, net remeasurement, and other costs have been reclassified from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses to other pension expense (income). Adient elected to apply the practical expedient which allows reclassification of amounts previously disclosed in the retirement benefits note as the basis for applying retrospective presentation for comparative periods as it is impracticable to determine the disaggregation of the cost components for amounts capitalized and amortized in those periods. On a prospective basis, the other components of net periodic benefit costs will not be included in amounts capitalized in inventory or property, plant, and equipment. The effect of the retrospective presentation change related to the net periodic cost of Adient's defined benefit pension and other postretirement employee benefits ("OPEB") plans on the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended December 31, 2017 resulted in a $1 million increase to cost of sales, a $1 million decrease to gross profit, a $1 million decrease to earnings (loss) before interest and income taxes and a $1 million increase to other pension expense (income) line items in the condensed consolidated statements of income. As a result of presenting certain pension costs as non-operating items, adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1 million in the Seating segment for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Adient also adopted the following standards during fiscal 2019, none of which had a material impact to the consolidated financial statements or consolidated financial statement disclosures: Standard Adopted Description Date Effective and Adopted ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ASU 2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. October 1, 2018 ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ASU 2016-clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. October 1, 2018 ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash ASU 2016-18 clarifies the classification and presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. October 1, 2018 ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business as it relates to the acquisition or sale of assets or businesses. October 1, 2018 ASU 2017-05, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets ASU 2017-05 will follow the same implementation guidelines as ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). October 1, 2018 ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. October 1, 2018 ASU 2018-08, Not for Profit Entities: Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made ASU 2018-08 is intended to clarify and improve the scope and the accounting guidance for contributions received and contributions made. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-08 should assist entities in (1) evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as contributions (nonreciprocal transaction) within the scope of Topic 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, or as exchange (reciprocal) transactions subject to other guidance and (2) determining whether a contribution is conditional. This amendment applies to all entities that make or receive grants or contributions. October 1, 2018 ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract The amendments in ASU 2018-15 require implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customer in a software licensing arrangement under the internal-use software guidance. The amendments also require an entity to disclose the nature of its hosting arrangements and adhere to certain presentation requirements in its balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for Adient for the quarter ending December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adient early adopted ASU No. 2018-15 effective October 1, 2018. ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging: Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes The amendments in this Update permit use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the UST, the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the SIFMA Municipal Swap Rate. October 1, 2018 Standards Effective After Fiscal 2019 Adient believes that the ASU summarized below, which is effective fiscal 2020, could significantly impact the consolidated financial statements: Standard Pending Adoption Description Anticipated Impact Effective Date ASU 2016-02, 2018-01, 2018-10 and 2018-11 The standard requires that a lessee recognize on its balance sheet right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities resulting from leasing transactions, as well as additional financial statement disclosures. Currently, U.S. GAAP only requires balance sheet recognition for leases classified as capital leases. The provisions of this update apply to substantially all leased assets. Adient is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and expects the impact to the consolidated balance sheet to be significant. October 1, 2019 Adient has considered the ASUs summarized below, effective after fiscal 2019, none of which are expected to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements: Standard Adopted Description Date Effective ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost, requiring presentation at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses will now be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. October 1, 2020 ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. October 1, 2019 ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement The amendments in ASU 2018-13 eliminate, add, and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for Adient for the quarter ending December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted for either the entire ASU or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The amendments with respect to changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty are to be applied prospectively. All other amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. October 1, 2019 ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defned Benefit Plans The amendments in ASU 2018-14 eliminate, add, and modify certain disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. October 1, 2020 ASU 2018-17, Consolidated: Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities The amendments in this Update affect reporting entities that are required to determine whether they should consolidate a legal entity under the guidance within the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation-Overall. October 1, 2019 ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements: Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 The amendments in this Update make targeted improvements to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for collaborative arrangements as follows: 1) Clarify that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. In those situations, all the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements. 2) Add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606. 3) Require that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | 2. Revenue Recognition Adient adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method as applied to all customer contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 606. Comparative financial information for reporting periods beginning prior to October 1, 2018 has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with Adient's revenue recognition policies prior to the adoption of ASC 606. Adient did not record a cumulative adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 606 as the effects of adoption were not significant. The majority of Adient's nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates will adopt ASC 606 on October 1, 2019. Adient generates revenue through the sale of automotive seating solutions, including complete seating systems and the components of complete seating systems. In a typical arrangement with the customer, purchase orders are issued for pre-production activities which consist of engineering, design and development, tooling and prototypes for the manufacture and delivery of component parts. Adient has concluded that these activities are not in the scope of ASC 606 and for that reason, there have been no changes to how Adient accounts for reimbursable pre-production costs. Adient provides production and service parts to its customers under awarded multi-year programs. The duration of a program is generally consistent with the life cycle of a vehicle, however, the program can be canceled at any time without cause by the customer. Programs awarded to Adient to supply parts to its customers do not contain a firm commitment by the customer for volume or price and do not reach the level of a performance obligation until Adient receives either a purchase order and/or a materials release from the customer for a specific number of parts at a specified price, at which point an enforceable contract exists. Sales revenue is generally recognized at the point in time when parts are shipped and control has transferred to the customer, at which point an enforceable right to payment exists. Contracts may provide for annual price reductions over the production life of the awarded program, and prices are adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in product content/cost and other commercial factors. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that Adient expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products based on purchase orders, annual price reductions and ongoing price adjustments (some of which are accounted for as variable consideration and subject to being constrained, but which are not expected to significantly change under ASC 606), net of the impact, if any, of consideration paid to the customer. Adient has elected to continue to include shipping and handling fees billed to customers in revenue, while including costs of shipping and handling in cost of sales. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue and credited directly to obligations to the appropriate government agencies. Payment terms with customers are established based on customary industry and regional practices. Adient has evaluated the terms of its arrangements and determined that they do not contain significant financing components. Contract assets primarily relate to the right to consideration for work completed, but not billed at the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contracts assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to contracts where advance payments or deposits have been received, but performance obligations have not yet been satisfied and revenue has not been recognized. No significant contract assets or liabilities were identified upon adoption of ASC606 or at December 31, 2018. As described above, the issuance of a purchase order and/or a materials release by the customer represents the point at which an enforceable contract with the customer exists. Therefore, Adient has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606, paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less .

Acquisitions and Divestitures | 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions Adient's consolidated affiliate, Adient Aerospace, LLC ("Adient Aerospace"), became operational on October 11, 2018 after securing regulatory approvals. Adient's ownership position in Adient Aerospace is 50.01% . Adient Aerospace will develop, manufacture, and sell a portfolio of seating products to airlines and aircraft leasing companies for installation on Boeing and other OEM commercial airplanes, for both production line-fit and retrofit configurations. Adient Aerospace's results are included within the Seating segment. Initial contributions of $28 million were made during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Assets Held for Sale During fiscal 2018, Adient committed to a plan to sell its Detroit, Michigan properties and its airplanes and actively marketed the sale of these assets. As a result, these assets were classified as assets held for sale and were required to be adjusted to the lower of fair value less cost to sell or carrying value. This resulted in an impairment charge of $49 million which was recorded within restructuring and impairment costs on the consolidated statement of income (loss) during fiscal 2018, of which $39 million related to Seating assets and $10 million related to corporate assets. The impairment was measured using third party sales pricing to determine fair values of the assets. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement." During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, one airplane was sold for $36 million . During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, both the Detroit, Michigan properties and remaining airplane were sold for approximately $35 million . |

Product Warranties Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Product Warranties | 6. Product Warranties Adient offers warranties to its customers depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. A typical warranty program requires that Adient replace defective products within a specified time period from the date of sale. Adient records an estimate for future warranty-related costs based on actual historical return rates and other known factors. Based on analysis of return rates and other factors, Adient's warranty provisions are adjusted as necessary. Adient monitors its warranty activity and adjusts its reserve estimates when it is probable that future warranty costs will be different than those estimates. Adient's product warranty liability is recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position in other current liabilities. The changes in Adient's total product warranty liability are as follows: Three Months Ended (in millions) 2018 2017 Balance at beginning of period $ 11 $ 19 Accruals for warranties issued during the period 3 2 Changes in accruals related to pre-existing warranties (including changes in estimates) 3 (2 ) Settlements made (in cash or in kind) during the period (2 ) (2 ) Balance at end of period $ 15 $ 17 |

Debt and Financing Arrangements | 7. Debt and Financing Arrangements Long-term debt consisted of the following: (in millions) December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Term Loan A - LIBOR plus 1.75% due in 2021 $ 1,200 $ 1,200 4.875% Notes due in 2026 900 900 3.50% Notes due in 2024 1,143 1,162 European Investment Bank Loan - EURIBOR plus 0.90% due in 2022 189 192 Capital lease obligations 2 2 Less: debt issuance costs (33 ) (32 ) Gross long-term debt 3,401 3,424 Less: current portion 2 2 Net long-term debt $ 3,399 $ 3,422 On July 27, 2016, Adient Global Holdings Ltd ("AGH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Adient, entered into a credit agreement providing for commitments with respect to a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility (undrawn at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively) and a $1.5 billion Term Loan A facility (the "Original Credit Facilities"). The Original Credit Facilities mature in July 2021. Until the Term Loan A maturity date, amortization of the funded Term Loan A is required in an amount per quarter equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount prior to July 27, 2019 and 2.5% in each quarter thereafter prior to final maturity. The Original Credit Facilities contain covenants that include, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, restrictions on Adient's ability to declare or pay dividends, make certain payments in respect of the notes, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, make investments, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements restricting Adient's subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends, dispose of assets and merge or consolidate with any other person. The Term Loan A facility also requires mandatory prepayments in connection with certain non-ordinary course asset sales and insurance recovery and condemnation events, among other things, and subject in each case to certain significant exceptions. On November 6, 2018, Adient entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Facilities (“First Amended Credit Facilities") whereby the financial maintenance covenant was amended to require Adient to maintain a total net leverage ratio equal to or less than 4.5 x adjusted EBITDA (previously 3.5 x adjusted EBITDA), with step down provisions starting in the quarter ending December 31, 2020. The amendment also expanded the upper range of interest rate margins such that the drawn portion of the First Amended Credit Facilities will bear interest based on LIBOR plus a margin between 1.25% - 2.50% (previously 1.25% - 2.25% ), based on Adient’s total net leverage ratio. No other terms were impacted by the first amendment. On February 6, 2019, Adient entered into an amendment to the First Amended Credit Facilities (“Second Amended Credit Facilities") whereby the financial maintenance covenant contained in the First Amended Credit Facilities was amended to require Adient to maintain a first lien secured net leverage ratio equal to or less than 2.5 x adjusted EBITDA as of the last day of each quarter, with step down provisions starting on September 30, 2020. The amendment also added a new tier to the pricing schedule that will be applicable when the total net leverage ratio exceeds 4.0 x adjusted EBITDA and amended certain other definitions, negative covenants and other terms within the credit facility. The full amount of the Term Loan A facility was drawn in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. These funds were transferred to the former Parent at the time of the draw and were reflected within net transfers to the former Parent in the consolidated statement of cash flow during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. In February 2017, Adient repaid $100 million of the Term Loan A facility. In May 2017, Adient repaid another $200 million of the Term Loan A facility. The total amount repaid was treated as a prepayment of the quarterly mandatory principle amortization for the period between March 2017 and June 2020 resulting in no required principal payment until June 2020. AGH will pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the total net leverage ratio of Adient, ranging from 0.15% to 0.45% . On August 19, 2016, AGH issued $0.9 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.875% USD-denominated unsecured notes due 2026 and €1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.50% unsecured notes due 2024, in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds of the notes were used, together with the Term Loan A facility, to pay a distribution to the former Parent, with the remaining proceeds used for working capital and general corporate purposes. On May 29, 2017, Adient Germany Ltd. & Co. KG, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adient, borrowed €165 million in an unsecured term loan from the European Investment Bank due in 2022. The loan bears interest at the 6-month EURIBOR rate plus 90 basis points. Loan proceeds were used to repay $200 million of the Term Loan A. Net Financing Charges Adient's net financing charges line item in the consolidated statements of income contained the following components: Three Months Ended (in millions) 2018 2017 Interest expense, net of capitalized interest costs $ 36 $ 34 Banking fees and debt issuance cost amortization 3 2 Interest income (2 ) (1 ) Net foreign exchange (2 ) (2 ) Net financing charges $ 35 $ 33 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Adient selectively uses derivative instruments to reduce Adient's market risk associated with changes in foreign currency. Under Adient's policy, the use of derivatives is restricted to those intended for hedging purposes; the use of any derivative instrument for speculative purposes is strictly prohibited. A description of each type of derivative utilized to manage Adient's risk is included in the following paragraphs. In addition, refer to Note 9 , " Fair Value Measurements ," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized by Adient for each derivative type. Adient has global operations and participates in the foreign exchange markets to minimize its risk of loss from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Adient primarily uses foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign exchange rate exposures. Adient hedges 70% to 90% of the nominal amount of each of its known foreign exchange transactional exposures. Gains and losses on derivative contracts offset gains and losses on underlying foreign currency exposures. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," and the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. These contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Adient selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. The equity swaps are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value of the equity swaps are reflected in the consolidated statements of income within selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2018, the €1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.50% euro-denominated unsecured notes due 2024 was designated as a net investment hedge to selectively hedge portions of Adient's net investment in Europe. The currency effects of Adient's euro-denominated bonds are reflected in AOCI account within shareholders' equity attributable to Adient where they offset gains and losses recorded on Adient's net investment in Europe. Adient entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps during fiscal 2018 to selectively hedge portions of its net investment in Europe. The currency effects of the cross-currency interest rate swaps are reflected in the AOCI account within shareholders' equity attributable to Adient, where they offset gains and losses recorded on Adient's net investment in Europe. As of December 31, 2018, Adient had two cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling approximately €160 million designated as net investment hedges in Adient's net investment in Europe. The following table presents the location and fair values of derivative instruments and other amounts used in hedging activities included in Adient's consolidated statements of financial position: Derivatives and Hedging Activities Designated as Hedging Instruments under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging Activities Not Designated as Hedging Instruments under ASC 815 (in millions) December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Other current assets Foreign currency exchange derivatives $ 2 $ 4 $ 5 $ 4 Other noncurrent assets Foreign currency exchange derivatives — — 1 2 Cross-currency interest rate swaps 17 13 — — Total assets $ 19 $ 17 $ 6 $ 6 Other current liabilities Foreign currency exchange derivatives $ 14 $ 11 $ — $ — Other noncurrent liabilities Foreign currency exchange derivatives 2 2 — — Equity swaps — — 4 2 Long-term debt Foreign currency denominated debt 1,143 1,162 — — Total liabilities $ 1,159 $ 1,175 $ 4 $ 2 Adient enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Associations (ISDA) master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the net settlement of amounts owed under the derivative contracts. The master netting agreements generally provide for net settlement of all outstanding contracts with a counterparty in the case of an event of default or a termination event. Adient has not elected to offset the fair value positions of the derivative contracts recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position. Collateral is generally not required of Adient or the counterparties under the master netting agreements. As of both December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements. The gross and net amounts of derivative instruments and other amounts used in hedging activities are as follows: Assets Liabilities (in millions) December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Gross amount recognized $ 25 $ 23 $ 1,163 $ 1,177 Gross amount eligible for offsetting (4 ) (5 ) (4 ) (5 ) Net amount $ 21 $ 18 $ 1,159 $ 1,172 The following table presents the effective portion of pretax gains (losses) recorded in other comprehensive income related to cash flow hedges: (in millions) Three Months Ended 2018 2017 Foreign currency exchange derivatives $ (4 ) $ (7 ) The following table presents the location and amount of the effective portion of pretax gains (losses) on cash flow hedges reclassified from AOCI into Adient's consolidated statements of income: (in millions) Three Months Ended 2018 2017 Foreign currency exchange derivatives Cost of sales $ — $ 1 The following table presents the location and amount of pretax gains (losses) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments recognized in Adient's consolidated statements of income (loss): (in millions) Three Months Ended 2018 2017 Foreign currency exchange derivatives Cost of sales $ — $ (2 ) Foreign currency exchange derivatives Net financing charges 1 (1 ) Equity swap Selling, general and administrative (17 ) (3 ) Total $ (16 ) $ (6 ) The effective portion of pretax gains (losses) recorded in currency translation adjustment (CTA) within other comprehensive income (loss) related to net investment hedges was $22 million and $(17) million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, no gains or losses were reclassified from CTA into income for Adient's outstanding net investment hedges, and there was no ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 9. Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following tables present Adient's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value: Fair Value Measurements Using: (in millions) Total as of December 31, 2018 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Other current assets Foreign currency exchange derivatives $ 7 $ — $ 7 $ — Other noncurrent assets Foreign currency exchange derivatives 1 — 1 — Cross-currency interest rate swaps 17 — 17 — Total assets $ 25 $ — $ 25 $ — Other current liabilities Foreign currency exchange derivatives $ 14 $ — $ 14 $ — Other noncurrent liabilities Foreign currency exchange derivatives 2 — 2 — Equity swaps 4 — 4 — Total liabilities $ 20 $ — $ 20 $ — Fair Value Measurements Using: (in millions) Total as of September 30, 2018 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Other current assets Foreign currency exchange derivatives $ 8 $ — $ 8 $ — Other noncurrent assets Foreign currency exchange derivatives 2 — 2 — Cross-currency interest rate swaps 13 — 13 — Total assets $ 23 $ — $ 23 $ — Other current liabilities Foreign currency exchange derivatives $ 11 $ — $ 11 $ — Other noncurrent liabilities Foreign currency exchange derivatives 2 — 2 — Equity swaps 2 — 2 — Total liabilities $ 15 $ — $ 15 $ — Valuation Methods Foreign currency exchange derivatives Adient selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange rate risk primarily using foreign currency exchange hedge contracts. The foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized spot and forward prices. Changes in fair value on foreign exchange derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings. These contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively. The changes in fair value of foreign currency exchange derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. Equity swaps Adient selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. The equity swaps are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value of the equity swaps are reflected in the consolidated statements of income within selling, general and administrative expenses. Cross-currency interest rate swaps Adient selectively uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge portions of its net investment in Europe. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The fair value of long-term debt, which was $3.0 billion and $3.3 billion at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively, was determined primarily using market quotes classified as Level 1 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. |

These redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income. Redeemable noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restructuring and Impairment Costs | 12. Restructuring and Impairment Costs To better align its resources with its overall strategies and reduce the cost structure of its global operations to address the softness in certain underlying markets, Adient commits to restructuring plans as necessary. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Adient committed to a restructuring plan ("2019 Plan") of $25 million . Of the restructuring costs recorded, $12 million relates to the SS&M segment and $13 million relates to the Seating segment. The restructuring actions relate to cost reduction initiatives and consist primarily of workforce reductions. The restructuring actions are expected to be substantially completed by fiscal 2019. The following table summarizes the changes in Adient's 2019 Plan reserve: (in millions) Employee Severance and Termination Benefits Original Reserve $ 25 Utilized—cash (2 ) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 23 In fiscal 2018, Adient committed to a restructuring plan ("2018 Plan") of $71 million that was offset by $20 million of underspend in the 2016 Plan and $7 million of underspend related to other plan years. Of the restructuring costs recorded, $23 million relates to the SS&M segment and $48 million relates to the Seating segment. This is the total amount expected to be incurred for this restructuring plan. The restructuring actions relate to cost reduction initiatives and consist primarily of workforce reductions. The restructuring actions are expected to be substantially completed by fiscal 2019. The following table summarizes the changes in Adient's 2018 Plan reserve: (in millions) Employee Severance and Termination Benefits Other Currency Total Balance at September 30, 2018 $ 49 $ 1 $ (2 ) $ 48 Utilized—cash (9 ) — — (9 ) Utilized—noncash — (1 ) — (1 ) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 40 $ — $ (2 ) $ 38 In fiscal 2017, Adient committed to a restructuring plan ("2017 Plan") within the Seating segment and recorded $46 million of restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income. This is the total amount expected to be incurred for this restructuring plan. The restructuring actions relate to cost reduction initiatives and consist primarily of workforce reductions and plant closures. The restructuring actions are expected to be substantially complete in fiscal 2019. The following table summarizes the changes in Adient's 2017 Plan reserve: (in millions) Employee Severance and Termination Benefits Balance at September 30, 2018 $ 12 Utilized—cash (1 ) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 11 In fiscal 2016, Adient committed to a restructuring plan ("2016 Plan") and recorded $332 million of restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income. This is the total amount expected to be incurred for this restructuring plan. The restructuring actions relate to cost reduction initiatives and consist primarily of workforce reductions, plant closures and asset impairments. Of the restructuring and impairment costs recorded, $217 million relates to the Seating segment, $98 million relates to the SS&M segment and $17 million relates to the Interiors segment. The asset impairment charge recorded during fiscal 2016 related primarily to information technology assets within the Seating segment that will not be used going forward by Adient. The restructuring actions are expected to be substantially complete in fiscal 2021. Since the announcement of the 2016 Plan in fiscal 2016, Adient has experienced lower employee severance and termination benefit cash payouts than previously calculated of approximately $20 million , due to changes in cost reduction actions. The planned workforce reductions disclosed for the 2016 Plan have been updated for Adient's revised actions. The following table summarizes the changes in Adient's 2016 Plan reserve: (in millions) Employee Severance and Termination Benefits Currency Total Balance at September 30, 2018 $ 71 $ 4 $ 75 Utilized—cash (2 ) — (2 ) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 69 $ 4 $ 73 Adient's fiscal 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016 restructuring plans included workforce reductions of approximately 6,800 . Restructuring charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits are paid over the severance period granted to each employee or on a lump sum basis in accordance with individual severance agreements. As of December 31, 2018, approximately 4,300 of the employees have been separated from Adient pursuant to the restructuring plans. In addition, the restructuring plans included fourteen plant closures. As of December 31, 2018, nine of the fourteen plants have been closed. Adient's management closely monitors its overall cost structure and continually analyzes each of its businesses for opportunities to consolidate current operations, improve operating efficiencies and locate facilities in low cost countries in close proximity to customers. This ongoing analysis includes a review of its manufacturing, engineering, purchasing and administrative functions, as well as the overall global footprint for all its businesses. Because of the importance of new vehicle sales by major automotive manufacturers to operations, Adient is affected by the general business conditions in the automotive industry. Future adverse developments in the automotive industry could impact Adient's liquidity position, lead to impairment charges and/or require additional restructuring of its operations. |
Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 13. Income Taxes In calculating the provision for income taxes, Adient uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the actual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based on changes in facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, Adient’s effective tax rate was 48% . The effective rate was higher than the statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to the impact of recognizing no tax benefit for losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances, partially offset by a tax rate change in China. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, Adient’s effective tax rate was 384% . The effective rate was higher than the statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to the charge to recognize the impact of the U.S. tax reform legislation and unfavorable foreign exchange. Valuation Allowances As a result of the Company's first quarter fiscal 2019 analysis of the realizability of its worldwide deferred tax assets, and after considering tax planning initiatives and other positive and negative evidence, Adient determined that no material changes to valuation allowances were required. Adient reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or combined group recording the net deferred tax asset are considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. All of the factors that Adient considers in evaluating whether and when to establish or release all or a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance involve significant judgment. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to Adient's valuation allowances may be necessary. If Adient's operating performance continues to be negatively impacted and actual results differ significantly from current or prior estimates, Adient may conclude that it is more likely than not that a material portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. As such, it is possible that a change to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions may result in a material increase to income tax expense during the next twelve months. In addition, the effective tax rate in subsequent periods would also increase. Uncertain Tax Positions At December 31, 2018, Adient had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $283 million . If recognized, $132 million of Adient's unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate. Total net accrued interest at December 31, 2018 was approximately $6 million (net of tax benefit). The interest and penalties accrued during the three months ended December 31, 2018 was not material. Adient recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Impacts of Tax Legislation and Change in Statutory Tax Rates During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Adient completed its accounting for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Base Erosion and Anti-avoidance Tax valuation allowance resulting in no change to the $100 million income tax impact estimated in fiscal 2018. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Guangzhou Adient Automotive Seating Co., Ltd. ("GAAS”) was approved for High and New Tech Enterprise status for the three-year period of 2018 to 2020, thereby reducing their tax rate from 25% to 15% . As a result, a $ 7 million income tax benefit was recorded on the reduction of deferred tax liabilities and a reduction of 2018 calendar year income taxes. Other tax legislation was adopted during the quarter in various jurisdictions, which did not have a material impact on Adient’s consolidated financial statements. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | 14. Segment Information Adient evaluates the performance of its reportable segments using an adjusted EBITDA metric defined as income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests, excluding net financing charges, qualified restructuring and impairment costs, restructuring related-costs, incremental "Becoming Adient" costs, separation costs, net mark-to-market adjustments on pension and postretirement plans, transaction gains/losses, purchase accounting amortization, depreciation, stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Also, certain corporate-related costs are not allocated to the segments. The reportable segments are consistent with how management views the markets served by Adient and reflect the financial information that is reviewed by its chief operating decision maker. Adient has three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: • Seating: This segment produces complete seat systems for automotive and other mobility applications, as well as certain components of complete seat systems, such as foam, trim and fabric. • Seat Structures & Mechanisms (SS&M): This segment produces seat structures and mechanisms for inclusion in complete seat systems that are produced by Adient or others. • Interiors: This segment, derived from Adient's global automotive interiors joint ventures, produces instrument panels, floor consoles, door panels, overhead consoles, cockpit systems, decorative trim and other products. Financial information relating to Adient's reportable segments is as follows: Three Months Ended (in millions) 2018 2017 Net Sales Seating $ 3,739 $ 3,796 SS&M 727 718 Eliminations (308 ) (310 ) Total net sales $ 4,158 $ 4,204 Three Months Ended (in millions) 2018 2017 (1) Adjusted EBITDA Seating $ 261 $ 354 SS&M (72 ) (82 ) Interiors 11 25 Corporate-related costs (2) (24 ) (31 ) Becoming Adient costs (3) — (19 ) Restructuring and impairment costs (4) (31 ) — Purchase accounting amortization (5) (10 ) (17 ) Restructuring related charges (6) (9 ) (11 ) Stock based compensation (7) (6 ) (10 ) Depreciation (8) (65 ) (94 ) Other items (9) (1 ) (14 ) Earnings (loss) before interest and income taxes 54 101 Net financing charges (35 ) (33 ) Other pension income 2 1 Income (loss) before income taxes $ 21 $ 69 Notes (1) The presentation of certain amounts has been revised from what was previously reported to retrospectively adopt Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Cost" as of October 1, 2018. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," for more information. (2) Corporate-related costs not allocated to the segments include executive office, aviation, communications, corporate development, legal, finance and marketing. (3) Reflects incremental expenses associated with becoming an independent company. Includes non-cash costs of $6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017. (4) Reflects qualified restructuring charges for costs that are directly attributable to restructuring activities and meet the definition of restructuring under ASC 420 and non-recurring impairment charges. (5) Reflects amortization of intangible assets including those related to partially owned affiliates recorded within equity income. As a result of the fiscal year 2018 YFAI impairment, the intangible assets related to YFAI were deemed to be fully impaired and thus no longer amortized. (6) Reflects restructuring related charges for costs that are directly attributable to restructuring activities, but do not meet the definition of restructuring under ASC 420. (7) For the three months ended December 31, 2017, stock based compensation excludes $6 million which is included in Becoming Adient costs, discussed above. (8) For the three months ended December 31, 2017, depreciation excludes $2 million which is included in restructuring related charges, discussed above. (9) The three months ended December 31, 2018 reflects $1 million of Futuris integration costs. The three months ended December 31, 2017 reflects $6 million of Futuris integration costs and $8 million related to the impact of the U.S. tax reform legislation at YFAI. |

Nonconsolidated Partially-Owned Affiliates | 15. Nonconsolidated Partially-Owned Affiliates Investments in the net assets of nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates are reported in the "Investments in partially-owned affiliates" line in the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2018 and September 31, 2018. Equity in the net income of nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates are reported in the "Equity income" line in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Adient maintains total investments in partially-owned affiliates of $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Operating information for nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates is as follows: Three Months Ended (in millions) 2018 2017 Income statement data: Net sales $ 4,268 $ 4,663 Gross profit $ 456 $ 566 Net income $ 195 $ 221 Net income attributable to the entity $ 190 $ 216 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 16. Commitments and Contingencies Adient accrues for potential environmental liabilities when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. Reserves for environmental liabilities totaled $8 million and $8 million at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Adient reviews the status of its environmental sites on a quarterly basis and adjusts its reserves accordingly. Such potential liabilities accrued by Adient do not take into consideration possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds. They do, however, take into account the likely share other parties will bear at remediation sites. It is difficult to estimate Adient's ultimate level of liability at many remediation sites due to the large number of other parties that may be involved, the complexity of determining the relative liability among those parties, the uncertainty as to the nature and scope of the investigations and remediation to be conducted, the uncertainty in the application of law and risk assessment, the various choices and costs associated with diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions at the sites, and the often quite lengthy periods over which eventual remediation may occur. Nevertheless, Adient does not currently believe that any claims, penalties or costs in connection with known environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on Adient's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Adient is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the operation of its businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, casualty environmental, safety and health, intellectual property, employment, commercial and contractual matters, and various other matters. Although the outcome of any such lawsuit, claim or proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty and some may be disposed of unfavorably to Adient, it is management's opinion that none of these will have a material adverse effect on Adient's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Adient have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed) that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Adient for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. |
Principles of Consolidations | Principles of Consolidations Adient consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities in which it has a controlling interest. Investments in partially-owned affiliates are accounted for by the equity method when Adient's interest exceeds 20% and does not have a controlling interest. |
Consolidated VIEs | Consolidated VIEs Based upon the criteria set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, "Consolidation," Adient has determined that it was the primary beneficiary in two variable interest entities (VIEs) for the reporting periods ended December 31 , 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively, as Adient absorbs significant economics of the entities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements Standards Adopted During Fiscal 2019 ASU 2014-09, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On October 1, 2018, Adient adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method as applied to all customer contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 606. Comparative financial information for reporting periods beginning prior to October 1, 2018 has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with Adient's revenue recognition policies prior to the adoption of ASC 606. Adient did not record a cumulative adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 606, and the effects of adoption were not significant. Refer to Note 2 , " Revenue Recognition ," of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for information related to Adient's adoption of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. On October 1, 2018, Adient adopted the amendments to ASU 2017-07 that improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs and retrospectively adopted the presentation of service cost separate from the other components of net periodic costs. The interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service costs, net remeasurement, and other costs have been reclassified from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses to other pension expense (income). Adient elected to apply the practical expedient which allows reclassification of amounts previously disclosed in the retirement benefits note as the basis for applying retrospective presentation for comparative periods as it is impracticable to determine the disaggregation of the cost components for amounts capitalized and amortized in those periods. On a prospective basis, the other components of net periodic benefit costs will not be included in amounts capitalized in inventory or property, plant, and equipment. The effect of the retrospective presentation change related to the net periodic cost of Adient's defined benefit pension and other postretirement employee benefits ("OPEB") plans on the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended December 31, 2017 resulted in a $1 million increase to cost of sales, a $1 million decrease to gross profit, a $1 million decrease to earnings (loss) before interest and income taxes and a $1 million increase to other pension expense (income) line items in the condensed consolidated statements of income. As a result of presenting certain pension costs as non-operating items, adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1 million in the Seating segment for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Adient also adopted the following standards during fiscal 2019, none of which had a material impact to the consolidated financial statements or consolidated financial statement disclosures: Standard Adopted Description Date Effective and Adopted ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ASU 2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. October 1, 2018 ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ASU 2016-clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. October 1, 2018 ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash ASU 2016-18 clarifies the classification and presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. October 1, 2018 ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business as it relates to the acquisition or sale of assets or businesses. October 1, 2018 ASU 2017-05, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets ASU 2017-05 will follow the same implementation guidelines as ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). October 1, 2018 ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. October 1, 2018 ASU 2018-08, Not for Profit Entities: Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made ASU 2018-08 is intended to clarify and improve the scope and the accounting guidance for contributions received and contributions made. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-08 should assist entities in (1) evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as contributions (nonreciprocal transaction) within the scope of Topic 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, or as exchange (reciprocal) transactions subject to other guidance and (2) determining whether a contribution is conditional. This amendment applies to all entities that make or receive grants or contributions. October 1, 2018 ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract The amendments in ASU 2018-15 require implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customer in a software licensing arrangement under the internal-use software guidance. The amendments also require an entity to disclose the nature of its hosting arrangements and adhere to certain presentation requirements in its balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for Adient for the quarter ending December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adient early adopted ASU No. 2018-15 effective October 1, 2018. ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging: Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes The amendments in this Update permit use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the UST, the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the SIFMA Municipal Swap Rate. October 1, 2018 Standards Effective After Fiscal 2019 Adient believes that the ASU summarized below, which is effective fiscal 2020, could significantly impact the consolidated financial statements: Standard Pending Adoption Description Anticipated Impact Effective Date ASU 2016-02, 2018-01, 2018-10 and 2018-11 The standard requires that a lessee recognize on its balance sheet right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities resulting from leasing transactions, as well as additional financial statement disclosures. Currently, U.S. GAAP only requires balance sheet recognition for leases classified as capital leases. The provisions of this update apply to substantially all leased assets. Adient is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and expects the impact to the consolidated balance sheet to be significant. October 1, 2019 Adient has considered the ASUs summarized below, effective after fiscal 2019, none of which are expected to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements: Standard Adopted Description Date Effective ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost, requiring presentation at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses will now be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. October 1, 2020 ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. October 1, 2019 ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement The amendments in ASU 2018-13 eliminate, add, and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for Adient for the quarter ending December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted for either the entire ASU or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The amendments with respect to changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty are to be applied prospectively. All other amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. October 1, 2019 ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defned Benefit Plans The amendments in ASU 2018-14 eliminate, add, and modify certain disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. October 1, 2020 ASU 2018-17, Consolidated: Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities The amendments in this Update affect reporting entities that are required to determine whether they should consolidate a legal entity under the guidance within the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation-Overall. October 1, 2019 ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements: Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 The amendments in this Update make targeted improvements to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for collaborative arrangements as follows: 1) Clarify that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. In those situations, all the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements. 2) Add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606. 3) Require that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. October 1, 2019 |
Revenue Recognition | Adient adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method as applied to all customer contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 606. Comparative financial information for reporting periods beginning prior to October 1, 2018 has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with Adient's revenue recognition policies prior to the adoption of ASC 606. Adient did not record a cumulative adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 606 as the effects of adoption were not significant. The majority of Adient's nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates will adopt ASC 606 on October 1, 2019. Adient generates revenue through the sale of automotive seating solutions, including complete seating systems and the components of complete seating systems. In a typical arrangement with the customer, purchase orders are issued for pre-production activities which consist of engineering, design and development, tooling and prototypes for the manufacture and delivery of component parts. Adient has concluded that these activities are not in the scope of ASC 606 and for that reason, there have been no changes to how Adient accounts for reimbursable pre-production costs. Adient provides production and service parts to its customers under awarded multi-year programs. The duration of a program is generally consistent with the life cycle of a vehicle, however, the program can be canceled at any time without cause by the customer. Programs awarded to Adient to supply parts to its customers do not contain a firm commitment by the customer for volume or price and do not reach the level of a performance obligation until Adient receives either a purchase order and/or a materials release from the customer for a specific number of parts at a specified price, at which point an enforceable contract exists. Sales revenue is generally recognized at the point in time when parts are shipped and control has transferred to the customer, at which point an enforceable right to payment exists. Contracts may provide for annual price reductions over the production life of the awarded program, and prices are adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in product content/cost and other commercial factors. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that Adient expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products based on purchase orders, annual price reductions and ongoing price adjustments (some of which are accounted for as variable consideration and subject to being constrained, but which are not expected to significantly change under ASC 606), net of the impact, if any, of consideration paid to the customer. Adient has elected to continue to include shipping and handling fees billed to customers in revenue, while including costs of shipping and handling in cost of sales. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue and credited directly to obligations to the appropriate government agencies. Payment terms with customers are established based on customary industry and regional practices. Adient has evaluated the terms of its arrangements and determined that they do not contain significant financing components. Contract assets primarily relate to the right to consideration for work completed, but not billed at the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contracts assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to contracts where advance payments or deposits have been received, but performance obligations have not yet been satisfied and revenue has not been recognized. No significant contract assets or liabilities were identified upon adoption of ASC606 or at December 31, 2018. As described above, the issuance of a purchase order and/or a materials release by the customer represents the point at which an enforceable contract with the customer exists. Therefore, Adient has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606, paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less . |

October 1, 2018 ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. October 1, 2018 ASU 2018-08, Not for Profit Entities: Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made ASU 2018-08 is intended to clarify and improve the scope and the accounting guidance for contributions received and contributions made. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-08 should assist entities in (1) evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as contributions (nonreciprocal transaction) within the scope of Topic 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, or as exchange (reciprocal) transactions subject to other guidance and (2) determining whether a contribution is conditional. This amendment applies to all entities that make or receive grants or contributions. October 1, 2018 ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract The amendments in ASU 2018-15 require implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customer in a software licensing arrangement under the internal-use software guidance. The amendments also require an entity to disclose the nature of its hosting arrangements and adhere to certain presentation requirements in its balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for Adient for the quarter ending December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adient early adopted ASU No. 2018-15 effective October 1, 2018. ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging: Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes The amendments in this Update permit use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the UST, the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the SIFMA Municipal Swap Rate. October 1, 2018 Standards Effective After Fiscal 2019 Adient believes that the ASU summarized below, which is effective fiscal 2020, could significantly impact the consolidated financial statements: Standard Pending Adoption Description Anticipated Impact Effective Date ASU 2016-02, 2018-01, 2018-10 and 2018-11 The standard requires that a lessee recognize on its balance sheet right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities resulting from leasing transactions, as well as additional financial statement disclosures. Currently, U.S. GAAP only requires balance sheet recognition for leases classified as capital leases. The provisions of this update apply to substantially all leased assets. Adient is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and expects the impact to the consolidated balance sheet to be significant. October 1, 2019 Adient has considered the ASUs summarized below, effective after fiscal 2019, none of which are expected to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements: Standard Adopted Description Date Effective ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost, requiring presentation at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses will now be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. October 1, 2020 ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. October 1, 2019 ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement The amendments in ASU 2018-13 eliminate, add, and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

In those situations, all the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements. 2) Add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606. 3) Require that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer.
