Ako vypočítať Accounts Payable

Čo je 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.

2. 2When the supplier is paid, AP decreases and cash decreases
3. 3Days payable outstanding (DPO) = (AP / COGS) × 365
4. 4Higher DPO = slower payment = more supplier financing of your operations
