What is Production?
Production refers to the process of recording and tracking the cost of goods manufactured or produced by a company.
By using Simplebks, when a company/business produces any goods, it incurs direct and indirect costs such as raw materials, labor, overheads, and other expenses. These costs need to be accurately recorded and allocated to the products being produced. This information is critical for determining the cost of goods sold, gross profit, and net income.
By tracking your business production cost, you can better understand their costs and improve their financial performance. This information can also help businesses identify improvement areas, optimize their production processes, and make informed decisions about future investments in equipment, materials, and labor.
What is WIP?
WIP stands for "Work-in-Progress". It refers to the inventory of products that are in the process of being manufactured or assembled but are not yet complete.
WIP is important for producers to manage their inventory levels and production processes effectively. By tracking WIP, producers can identify which products are in progress, how long they have been in production, and how much they have cost to produce. This information can help manufacturers to optimize their production processes, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency.
Once the WIP is completed, it is transferred to the finished goods inventory, and the cost of goods sold is calculated based on the total cost of materials and labor used to produce the finished product.
