A(z) Accounts Payable kiszámítása
Mi az a Accounts Payable?
Accounts payable (AP) represents money a company owes to its suppliers for goods or services received but not yet paid for. Managing AP strategically — paying promptly enough to maintain good supplier relations but slowly enough to preserve cash — is a key treasury function.
