This total is calculated as follows: Labor cost to date + Material cost to date) less (Labor issued out to WIP + Material issued out to WIP) The program uses the WIP Job Master table to establish what the costs to date are against what is issued out of WIP when receipting. It reflects the value of WIP in the manufacture of finished goods. If Work in Progress is integrated to the General Ledger either in summary or detail (General Ledger Integration) and you have successfully posted all Work in Progress transaction journals into the General Ledger then this total must equal the total of the Work in Progress control account(s) in the General Ledger. |
