MATCH PURCHASES TO THEIR PAYABLES
Use the supplier ledger, then read the ratio in context
The same turnover can reflect different supplier terms or purchase mix. A visible average-payables calculation makes the scope check easier without prescribing a payment policy.

THE FIELD NOTES
Quick answer above. Better decisions below.
Use the result now, then read the practical notes for assumptions, examples, limitations, and the choices behind it.
$120,000 PURCHASES · $12,000 AVERAGE PAYABLES10.00 turns
Average payables = ($10,000 + $14,000)/2. Ten turns in 365 days gives 36.50 days equivalent.
02
Keep the source values in view
Days equivalent equals actual reporting-period days divided by turnover. Zero credit purchases produce zero turns and an unavailable days equivalent; average payables must remain greater than zero.
03
Use the output in your workflow
Compare supplier payment timing with the inventory turnover calculator to understand the stock cycle separately. The cogs calculator measures product cost; its output is not automatically the net credit purchases numerator used here.

This does not substitute COGS for net credit purchases, forecast cash payments, determine creditworthiness or say faster payment is always better. A beginning/end average can miss seasonal changes; check more frequent balances when needed.
