| Financial Instruments and Commodity Contracts                           | Financial Instruments and Commodity ContractsDerivative Financial InstrumentsWe use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall interest rate, foreign currency, and commodity risk management strategies to reduce our interest rate exposure, reduce exchange rate risk for transactional exposures denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, and minimize the effect of commodity price volatility. From time to time, we use foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage the risk of exchange rate movements that would affect the value of our foreign currency cash flows. Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the value of sales made and costs incurred in currencies other than the functional currency. In addition, we also use commodity forward contracts to manage our exposure to variability in certain commodity prices. We generally do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes and did not during the years ended October 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014. None of our derivatives qualified for hedge accounting treatment during the years ended October 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014.The majority of our derivative contracts are transacted under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements. Each agreement permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default or certain other termination events. For derivative financial instruments, we have elected not to offset derivative positions in the balance sheet with the same counterparty under the same agreement. Collateral is generally not required to be provided by our counter-parties for derivative contracts. However, certain of our derivative contracts contain provisions that require us to provide collateral if certain loss thresholds are exceeded. Collateral of less than $1 million and $1 million was provided as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We manage exposure to counter-party credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with various major financial institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such instruments. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of the counter-parties. Our exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counter-parties is limited to those assets that have been recorded, but have not yet been received in cash. At October 31, 2016 and 2015, our exposure to the credit risk of others was $3 million and $1 million, respectively.

All contracts were entered into to protect against the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from certain transactions would be affected by changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the respective foreign currency.

As of October 31, 2016, we had outstanding diesel fuel contracts with aggregate notional values of $4 million and outstanding steel contracts with aggregate notional values of $8 million. The commodity forward contracts have various maturity dates through March 31, 2017. As of October 31, 2015, we had outstanding diesel fuel contracts with aggregate notional values of $24 million and outstanding steel contracts with aggregate notional values of $6 million. All of these contracts were entered into to protect against the risk that the eventual cash flows related to purchases of the commodities will be affected by changes in prices.Interest-Rate ContractsFrom time to time, we enter into various interest-rate contracts, interest rate caps, and cross currency swaps. As of both October 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no outstanding cross currency swaps. We are exposed to interest rate and exchange rate risk as a result of our borrowing activities. The objective of these contracts is to mitigate fluctuations in earnings, cash flows, and fair value of borrowings. Our Mexican financial services operation uses interest rate caps and cross currency swaps to protect against the potential of rising interest rates as required by the terms of its variable-rate asset-backed securities, and fluctuations in the value of the peso, as required under our Mexican bank credit facilities. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the notional amount of our outstanding interest rate caps at our Mexican financial services operation was $156 million and $108 million, respectively. |
