Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind payment and credit terms: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.

Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind payment and credit terms: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Seasonality interacts with payment and credit terms more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.

- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
