Hi ya, jb. <<Sorry in advance for the dumb question.... >> Not a dumb question at all. Never stand there and let yourself get snowed. See this: Message 7511087 In simplified form, DSO's tell you how many days of sales are sitting there uncollected in the accounts receivable column; the fewer the better. Cash is king. On a similar theme, their days of COGS in accounts payable went down as well- I would have preferred that to go up- ideally, I want them to wait longer befrore they pay their creditors. So, within certain bounds, the fewer the DSOs the better, and the greater the "days in accounts payable", the better.
