Inventory Profit Cash Timing Bridge

Explain supplied inventory balance movement separately from cash paid and cost of goods sold. The download provides a specific review process. It does not make decisions or act in an account.

What to provide

Opening/closing inventory, purchases, cost of sales, writeoffs, payable movements and policy.

How it works

1. Align inventory and cost definitions, units, dates and entity.
2. Bridge opening plus purchases less cost of sales less documented writeoffs to closing.
3. Keep payment timing separate using supplied payables; purchases are not automatically cash paid.
4. Return inventory/cash crosswalk and residuals; do not value stock or post adjustments.

The output

opening inventory | purchases | cost of sales | writeoffs | expected close | payable timing | residual

Worked fictional example

Fictional100 + 60 - 40 - 5 = 115 closing inventory. Cash paid 50 with 10 unpaid does not change purchases 60 to 50.
