Definition

Number of days in the current company code for calculating the average sales.

To calculate the days sales outstanding figure, the current balance is compared with the sales which have been made in the last n months.

The number of days results for n = 3 as in the following example:

  • Today: 09/10/1996
  • The posting periods 06, 07, 08 and 09 are considered when calculating the average sales.
  • First day of the first period considered: 06/01/1996
  • Number of days in between the two: 09/10/1996 - 06/01/1996 = 102
