Map cash-in timing
Card settlement, marketplace payout and COD courier settlement can follow different calendars.
Map cash-out timing
Supplier purchases, payroll, logistics, advertising and operating expenses may be due before revenue is collected.
Watch inventory cash absorption
Buying too early or holding slow stock converts cash into inventory that may take months to return.
Include returns and failed delivery
Refunds and reverse logistics can create cash outflows after the original sale.
Use payment accounts for visibility
Separate account balances and movement help management understand where cash actually sits.
Forecast scenarios
Expected purchasing, campaign spend and settlement delays can be modelled to identify future pressure.
The operating principle
Every event should remain connected to the product, contact or transaction that created it. That is what lets ERP explain a number instead of only displaying it.
