Understanding Results Analysis for WIP

Understanding Results Analysis Key for Calculating WIP

Introduction and Configuration Guide
Work in process (WIP) inventory forms a part of te !orking capital or current assets of a firm
appearing in teir "alance seet# Work in process or progress are partially completed goods$
parts$ or su"assem"lies tat are no longer part of te ra! materials inventory and not yet part of
te finised products inventory# %undamental Principle of International Accounting &tandard '
states tat Inventories are re(uired to "e stated at te lo!er of cost and net realisa"le value
()R*)#
+e guidance on measurement of cost of inventories is tat$ cost sould include all,
a) costs of purcase (including ta-es$ transport$ and andling) net of trade discounts received
") costs of conversion (including fi-ed and varia"le manufacturing overeads) and
c) oter costs incurred in "ringing te inventories to teir present location and condition
Wit &AP$ te ra! materials gets transferred to finised goods via production orders or process
order# In tis process$ typically$ te production order is created to !ic ra! materials are issued$
all activities performed in te process are carged along !it any overeads tat is apporopriate
te production order# Production is ongoing$ and it is (uite natural tat at mont end$ !e end up
!it some open production orders# &AP in its product costing functionality$ provides te feature to
calculate te value of WIP# +is !ill "e derived "ased on te careful definition of .ine I/s in line
!it te cost components# +e WIP sall "e te total de"its cost in te order as reduced "y te
