| **What it counts** | `SUM(IC AR) - SUM(IC AP)` across BUs. |
| **Currency**       | Reporting ledger.                     |
| **Time window**    | Real-time.                            |

## Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Oracle ERP Cloud data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

## Worked example

Pre-elimination IC AR $48M, IC AP $47.2M, net $0.8M. Post-elimination = $0 expected. The \$0.8M residual is a known timing difference (AR booked Day 1, AP booked Day 2 across BUs). Will resolve at next consolidation run.
