The NPV step is available in the Finance module. The NPV (Net Present Value) function evaluates the profitability of an investment or a series of cash flows. It measures the value of future payments (negative values, typically representing investments or expenses) and income (positive values, typically representing returns or revenue) in today's terms by discounting them at a specified rate. The result is a single numeric value that represents the net value of the investment when considering the time value of money.
Prerequisites
This step requires the Financial module to be installed before it will be available in the toolbox.
