You can forecast and manage inventory investment cash requirements by accessing the Purchasing Cash Flow Report, which projects upcoming purchase order payment obligations and helps plan cash flow for inventory purchases. This forward-looking report helps retail operators anticipate cash needs, schedule supplier payments effectively, and maintain adequate working capital for inventory replenishment across seasonal buying cycles.
Using the Purchasing Cash Flow Report helps retail operators plan inventory investment timing, avoid cash shortages during peak buying periods, and negotiate better payment terms with suppliers through improved cash flow visibility.
