One spine from source to cash — the value, the conversion, the days, and the leakage at every handoff. Where sourced & quoted trade turns into contracted, delivered, invoiced and collected cash (and where it gets stuck).
₹137 Cr is leaking or stuck across the 73-day quote-to-cash cycle — the largest single pool is ₹45 Cr at Collect. Close the billing lag and aged book to pull cash forward without selling a thing.

Gates the program go-live (SAP / trading ERP, Toyota-group EDI/JIT & service-centre MES integration).
The source-to-cash cycle for the group, end to end. A sourced quote becomes a contracted order, the order becomes delivered goods (steel, JIT parts, materials), delivery becomes an invoice, and an invoice becomes cash — 73 days from source to cash, with ₹137 Cr leaking or stuck across the handoffs. Each stage links to the 360 that owns it and the records to work. (Contracted Toyota-group / OEM supply agreements bill on a steadier cadence — this is the spot / make-to-order lane.)
Value flowing through each stage, the conversion from the prior stage, days in-stage, and the leakage at the handoff.
The biggest levers are delivery/logistics (lead time) and collection (DSO) — the order handoff is quick; billing lag is the quiet one.
Each leak quantified, owned, and linked to the 360 and the records that fix it — the working-capital recovery list.
Off-contract spot sourcing vs governed SAP / EDI pricing
Read this: the two biggest pools are ₹45 Cr aged AR (collect) and ₹22 Cr unbilled dispatch / export-doc lag (bill) — both pure working capital. Closing the billing lag and the aged book pulls ~₹67 Cr of cash forward without selling a thing.
