There was a notable increase in the number of days of payables in the March 31, 2023, quarter, where it reached 90.86 days, indicating a slower payment period. However, this trend seems to have improved in subsequent quarters until the most recent quarter.

The trend in the number of days of payables can provide insights into Amcor PLC's liquidity management and vendor relationships. A longer period of payables may suggest that the company is able to take advantage of extended payment terms from suppliers, potentially improving its cash flow position. On the other hand, a significant increase in the number of days of payables may raise concerns about the company's ability to manage its working capital effectively.

Overall, it is important to consider the number of days of payables in conjunction with other financial metrics to gain a comprehensive understanding of Amcor PLC's financial health and operational efficiency.
