The Accounts payable cycle is one of the internal processes of operating cycle in which time is measured for making cash outflows into cash inflows. In the process of Accounts payable cycle time taken for receiving cash or money in accounts payable is measured. This time taken is directly proportional to the mean number of days taken for converting business into sales in the process of accounts payable.
