MOQ cash gap before the next run
Next-run MOQ $ can exceed cash on hand. Shortfall $ = max(0, MOQ $ − cash on hand). Type MOQ $ and cash on hand.
Pair: MOQ cash gap on Stock. Units sibling: MOQ vs cover. Sample path: sample vs MOQ.
What you type
MOQ $ — dollars required to place the next factory / co-man run (quote).
Cash on hand — spendable cash available for that PO (typed).
Shortfall when cash is under MOQ. Cut ads or raise cash before you book the run — do not invent a gap chip.
What not to do
Do not invent shortfall $. Do not mix sample PO $ into full MOQ without splitting. Do not treat lot-release lag as cash on hand. Do not average every SKU when one run owns the hole.
