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: 17 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 502 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 485 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 547 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360).
