Sales Revenue refers to the income your business has earned i.e incoming of gross amount.

Cash Flow refers to the amount you need to pay or receive to keep alive your business operation activity. i.e incoming and outgoing of same.

In short Sales revenue is Food and cash flow is blood line of a business body.

 Revenue is the funds that the Company takes from conducting its normal business operations.

Cash flow refers to cash available in the fund and may include other sources in addition to revenue from sales of goods and services.

Revenue and cash flows are used as indicators to assist investors in assessing the financial health of the company, but revenue provides a measure of effectiveness in sales and marketing. While cash flow is a liquidity index or financial management in accrual accounting, revenue is recognized at the time the sale is accounted for They may not necessarily represent cash in the Fund. Income ultimately affects cash flow figures, but does not automatically affect them directly. Cash flow keeps track of actual cash at hand, and cash that may not actually be collected even months after the income recorded in the company's financial books

Cash flow includes operating sales income and cash resources that exceed sales revenues only. Companies often generate or receive cash in a variety of ways that fall outside their core business. These additional sources of funds are calculated in the cash flow calculation, but are not normally considered part of operating income, including such things as financing and investment. Licensing agreements are another source of cash, which can be included as ordinary income. The critical importance of cash flow lies in the company's ability to continue to operate; it must always have sufficient cash to meet short-term financial obligations

Revenue should also be understood as one-way cash flows to a company, while cash flow represents incoming cash flows. Therefore, unlike revenue, cash flow has the potential to be a negative number or value
