CapiPlan
Work in Progress Module
for Accurate Accounting
Manufacturing and assembly businesses operate through a structured production cycle where inventory moves from raw materials to work in progress (WIP) and finally to finished goods. Work in progress represents the stage where materials have entered production and partial manufacturing or assembly has already taken place.
From an accounting perspective, WIP includes the accumulated cost of raw materials issued to production, direct labor applied, and allocated factory overheads. Proper tracking of this stage is essential to ensure accurate inventory classification, cost accumulation, and valuation during the production cycle.
CapiPlan’s Work in Progress module is designed specifically for businesses involved in
Manufacturing
Assembling
ensuring accurate cost accounting, clear inventory visibility, and reliable financial reporting at every production stage.
