Work in Process Inventory

When a material is entered into production, it is no longer considered a raw material and is instead transferred to the account titled Work in Process inventory (WIP).

About WIP

  • Inventory of goods that are in production but not completed
  • Cost of WIP is the sum of direct materials used, direct labor and manufacturing overhead
  • When goods are completed, they exit WIP, this is called Cost of Goods Manufactured (COGM)
