Working capital requirement (WCR) and payment terms

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 8 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 73 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 65 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 105 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 480 days of revenue, i.e. 101 k€ to permanently finance.
