Days Payable Outstanding (DPO)

Days Payable Outstanding measures the average number of days a business takes to pay its suppliers. It reflects how efficiently a company manages outgoing cash. A higher DPO can improve short-term liquidity but may affect supplier relationships, while a lower DPO indicates faster payments and stronger vendor trust.
