Match the flow period

Enter average balances and their corresponding COGS, sales and purchases flows for one period. The period-day count applies to all three components. Use matching amount units.

Read the denominator conventions

The tool uses COGS for inventory days, the entered sales base for receivable days and the entered purchases base for payable days. Label a proxy if that is what your data provides.

Inspect the fictional defaults

The defaults give operating cycle 92.4667 days and cash cycle 62.05 days. Purchases are 360 rather than the COGS amount of 300.

Use the result within its evidence

The tool does not establish actual collection dates, contractual supplier deadlines or an amount of cash released. It rejects nonpositive flow bases and invalid period lengths.
