Definition: Payables turnover shows how fast the company pays its suppliers for goods or services bought on credit. A high turnover means the company pays suppliers quickly, which may reflect strong cash flow or favorable terms. A very low turnover might mean the company is stretching payments to preserve cash — or possibly experiencing financial strain.
