I just need a simple(?) advice on whether I should use 'of' or 'on'.
From the following sentence,
Historically, the cash collection of sales has been as follows.
I just want to modify it like
The company's estimation of the cash collection of sales. OR
The company's estimation on the cash collection of sales.
...
But here I am not quite sure the difference between estimation of or estimation on...
I guess, when you use 'on' , it normally meanssomething influences other things.
So in this case, a way of estimation that influences cash collection of sales.
Am I in the right track?
If I use 'of', just like above sentence, it is just the conversion of
The company is estimating the cash collection of sales...into noun phrase.
Am I right?
Thank you.

I cannot vouch for that general meaning of 'on', but your explanation seems reasonable. In any case, use estimation of . An estimate on/of would sound OK.
