Understand category selection, performance metrics, time period comparison, and supplier-level insights. ### Selecting KPI Category ![](https://knowledgebase.centime.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-22-2025-07-30-00-3849-PM.png?width=670&height=348&name=image-png-Apr-22-2025-07-30-00-3849-PM.png) To begin monitoring payables, users can choose the **performance category** from the **Monitor KPIs** dropdown menu. ### Payables KPIs Overview Centime tracks accounts payable performance using the following KPIs: - Days Payables Outstanding – Measures the average time it takes to pay invoices. - Turnover Ratio – Indicates how many times a company pays off its accounts payable in a given period. - % Paid Early – Represents the proportion of invoices paid before their due date. - % Paid Late – Represents the proportion of invoices paid after their due date. Users can compare two time periods and choose to analyze performance by any **month**, **quarter**, or **year.** ### Comparing Time Period Details ![](https://knowledgebase.centime.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-22-2025-07-30-50-0156-PM.png?width=670&height=346&name=image-png-Apr-22-2025-07-30-50-0156-PM.png) To get more detailed insights for a specific time period, simply click on the corresponding row in the table.
