Payables turnover is a measure of short-term liquidity. It shows how quickly a company pays off its accounts payable.
For example, a company with $600,000 in annual purchases and $50,000 in average accounts payable has a payables turnover ratio of 12, meaning it pays its suppliers roughly every 30 days on average — consistent with standard net-30 terms in its industry.
