Frequently asked questions

What does Quote generator do?

Build a quote with line items and VAT, then download it as HTML.

When would I actually use this?

Running the week: issuing an invoice or a quote, knowing what is in stock and what to reorder, and seeing whether cash covers what is due.

What is the most common mistake?

Reading profit as cash. A profitable month with sixty-day payment terms can still leave the account empty — the two numbers answer different questions.

What else is filed next to it?

Average collection period calculator, Calendar event (.ics) and Capacity utilization calculator share its section. They are not variants of it — being filed together is not the same as being alike — but that is where to look if this turned out not to be the tool you wanted.

Where do the figures come from?

The arithmetic is exact for what you enter. Invoice content, VAT treatment and mandatory mentions are set by national rules — an invoice that computes correctly can still be non-compliant.

ExplainerA Quotation: What Commits You Legally, and What Must Appear On ItThe same document has opposite default effects on either side of the Rhine: in France a signed fixed-price quotation forbids any increase, in Germany an estimate carries no guarantee of correctness unless the contractor took one on. Plus the particulars that are general, the ones that are trade rules, and why a free quotation is not free.ExplainerThe Cash Conversion Cycle: the Number That Explains Why You Are Out of CashCCC = DIO + DSO − DPO. It is the number of days your cash is out of your hands, and it is the reason a profitable, growing business runs out of money. Worked end to end, with the negative-cycle case that makes suppliers your cheapest lender.ComparisonCurrent Ratio vs Quick Ratio, and What Neither Tells YouThe quick ratio removes inventory because inventory is the current asset that may not convert. Two companies with an identical current ratio can be five times apart on the quick ratio — and both measures are still blind to the one thing that actually stops a company paying: timing.ExplainerReturn on Assets: What the Ratio Says About a Business, and What It HidesReturn on assets, return on net assets and return on capital employed are one family with two moving parts. On the same balance sheet they read 8.3%, 10.2% and 15.6% — and the two steps between them are exactly the two decisions you are making.ExplainerProcess Capability: Cp, Cpk and What Six Sigma Actually ClaimsCp compares the spec width to the process spread; Cpk penalises being off-centre. A process can have an excellent Cp and still make scrap — here is the case, with defect rates computed from the normal distribution rather than read off a table.ExplainerTakt Time, Cycle Time and Lead Time Are Three Different ClocksTakt is demand, cycle time is capability, lead time is what the customer experiences. Confusing them is the most common failure in a first improvement project — and Little's Law is the bridge from one to the next.
