Understanding the dashboard
The Lock-Up Dashboard tracks the number of days work remains unpaid, combining WIP Days time spent on a job before billing (WIP Days) and Debtor Days time taken to receive payment after invoicing (Debtor Days). It highlights the total lock-up days, showing how long it takes to convert work into cash. This helps firms monitor cash flow efficiency and identify areas for faster invoicing and collections.
Why is it important?
The Lock-Up Dashboard allows you to:
Ensure timely billing—especially on large or milestone-based projects—and improve collections through consistent follow-ups and automated reminders, reducing delays in receiving payments.
Combine WIP Days and Debtor Days to show how long it takes to turn completed work into cash. This visibility helps firms assess their cash conversion cycle and take steps to speed up invoicing and payments.

Dashboard FAQs
How is Total Lock-Up Value and Total Lock-Up Days Computed?
This represents the total amount of unbilled work in progress (WIP Balance) and outstanding invoices (Total Debtors) that have yet to be converted into cash.
Formula: Total Lock-Up Value = WIP Balance + Total Debtors
Total Lock-Up Days = WIP Days + Debtor Days
