Definition of days sales outstanding

Days sales outstanding

Days sales outstanding - shows how many days worth of sales are unpaid at the month end. You might instead see receivables turnover - the number of times a year on average that receivables are collected.  E.g. DSO of 60 days is equivalent to receivables turnover of 6x (once every 2 months).
