What is excluded from current liabilities when calculating NWC for DCF

I'm doing a DCF project right now and I'm trying to figure out what I should exclude from current liabilities.

Current Liabilities: Accounts payable Accrued compensation and related costs Accrued occupancy costs Accrued taxes Insurance reserves Other accrued liabilities Deferred revenue

This is taken strait from there 10-k. I'm trying to figure out if I use all of these current liabilities when figuring out the Net Working Capital for my DCF model.

Yup, I understand how to calculate the standard way for calculating working capital, typed CA-CL in short as I assumed most of readers here would have the basic understanding. The main question here is do we add receivables from related parties and associates too? Not too sure if there is a difference compared to the normal receivables we usually deal with.

Thanks for your clarification
