Field Description
WIP Method

Select which method to use to analyze the WIP data.

  • WIP Balancing—lists outstanding work orders by the dollar amount that was posted to the general ledger. When WIP Balancing is selected, the system calculates the current work in process based on the WIP code (S or I) that is on the actual record in the SALDET or WOLAB files.
  • List Price—lists outstanding work orders by list price. When List Price is selected, the system defaults the WIP code on each order to S, so that the LLPRC and SDPRC values are used to calculate the labor and parts costs accordingly.
  • Estimated Cost—lists outstanding work orders by cost. When Estimated Cost is selected, the system defaults the WIP code on each order to I, so that the price is calculated using the average cost for parts (SDAVN) and average cost for labor (LLAVN).
