WIP value

In this procedure you can calculate the value of the work in progress (WIP), that is, the value of manufacturing orders in progress. The report can be used e.g. as a basis when recording the WIP value in the accounting in connection to monthly or annual accounts.

You can calculate the WIP value as a situation report for today or for a selected time in the past. You can also make different choices for how to value the components of the WIP value, that is, how to value material, subcontract, and work. You can also take different price alternatives into consideration for parts, and consider cost factors for work centers.

With different selections and by choosing order status 3 to 5, you can determine which manufacturing orders to be included in the WIP value. The information of the WIP value is based on parts, manufacturing orders, and the associated reporting logs. If you use the Tools & Maintenance option, you can choose to include tools in the calculation. All the values and prices are displayed in the company currency in the procedure.

The procedure is similar to the Post-calculation procedure having the same tabs; Direct material, Order oriented manufactured parts, and Stock driven manufactured parts, Operations, Level list, and Warning list. This division is useful when analyzing details in the WIP value. One thing that differs from the Post-calculation procedure is that the WIP value is always displayed for the entire order quantity. The Post-calculation can display all the values/costs either per unit or total for the entire order quantity. Another thing that differs is that there is no update option of the WIP value.
