receivables sale of receivables programs arconic has an arrangement with three financial institutions to sell certain customer receivables without recourse on a revolving basis .
the sale of such receivables is completed through the use of a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity , which is a consolidated subsidiary of arconic .
this arrangement provides for minimum funding of $ 200 up to a maximum of $ 400 for receivables sold .
on march 30 , 2012 , arconic initially sold $ 304 of customer receivables in exchange for $ 50 in cash and $ 254 of deferred purchase price under this arrangement .
arconic has received additional net cash funding of $ 300 for receivables sold ( $ 1758 in draws and $ 1458 in repayments ) since the program 2019s inception , including $ 100 ( $ 500 in draws and $ 400 in repayments ) in 2016 .
no draws or repayments occurred in 2015 .
as of december 31 , 2016 and 2015 , the deferred purchase price receivable was $ 83 and $ 249 , respectively , which was included in other receivables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet .
the deferred purchase price receivable is reduced as collections of the underlying receivables occur ; however , as this is a revolving program , the sale of new receivables will result in an increase in the deferred purchase price receivable .
the net change in the deferred purchase price receivable was reflected in the ( increase ) decrease in receivables line item on the accompanying statement of consolidated cash flows .
this activity is reflected as an operating cash flow because the related customer receivables are the result of an operating activity with an insignificant , short-term interest rate risk. .
