The purpose of the Net Cash Exposure by Period widget is to provide a single value that enables users, e.g. a finance team, to monitor as close to real-time as possible cash exposure value.

This assists with monitoring cash flow, providing a real-time indicative guide as to the net exposure after considering things like customer contribution (sell price), hardware funds, discounts etc.


Exposure is determined by comparing the up-front buy price and up-front sell price of an item.

Exposure = Buy Price - Customer Net Sell Price

Exposure (positive) occurs where an item is sold at a loss. Negative exposure occurs where an item is sold at a profit.

The value shown on the widget is the sum of the exposure values for all items that match the widget's filters (detailed below).

The widget will display a single value summarising all items within the specified range. A breakdown is provided to show the details of all items.
