A/R represets monies not collect on product shipped and revenue recorded (and recognize as sales). The presumption if DSO increases is that the quarter was backend loaded. Guidance from the company is that inventory will decrease significantly and A/R will decrease. I would like to know where the $54/port workgroup switch ad came from? Comments/Regards.

Like most companies including my own, I'm sure, revenue is sales or (in my case) services for which payment has been received. Accounts Receivable is sales or services invoiced, but where payment has not yet been received. This is a big difference. I should know. I have 3 months Invoices outstanding right now (contract delay), which is in my A/R, but not a penny in revenue for this year. The client says the check is in the mail. I sure hope so. I can't spend A/R.
