1. WIP Overhead Account: This account is used to track overhead costs related to production or project activities. Overhead can include indirect labor, utilities, and other expenses not directly tied to specific products.
   • Setup:
     • Similar to the WIP account, go to Accounting > Configuration > Chart of Accounts.
     • Create or modify an account to be designated as the WIP Overhead account. This should also be an "Asset" type account but may have different characteristics depending on your accounting needs.

How to Use WIP Accounts

• Recording Costs: When you incur costs related to projects or production (e.g., labor, materials), they should be recorded in the WIP account. This helps in tracking the total investment in unfinished projects.
• Transferring Costs: Once a project is completed, you can transfer the total accumulated costs from the WIP account to the appropriate expense account or inventory account, depending on your business model.
• Reporting: Regularly review your WIP accounts to ensure that costs are being accurately tracked and that projects are progressing as expected. This helps in financial planning and project management.

Benefits of Using WIP Accounts

• Better Cost Control: By tracking WIP, you gain insight into the costs associated with projects and can better manage your resources.
• Accurate Financial Reporting: It helps in reflecting a more accurate financial position of your business by recognizing costs as they are incurred, rather than only when projects are completed.
• Improved Project Management: It enables better decision-making by providing clear visibility into the ongoing costs of projects.
