Closing out WIP in WIP Account

Hello!

 

I am using WIP for job tracking.  When I close WIP (by closing out the "item" and transfer into "COGS) this zeros out the WIP report, but the WIP Account does not show any deductions.  I suppose this makes sense because "closing WIP" is not touching the WIP account, so what do I need to be doing to make sure that when i create a "Bill" to close out WIP that is also reduces the WIP account? 

 

Thank you so much!

Closing out WIP in WIP Account

Let me join this thread and explain why there's no deduction in your Work-In-Progress (WIP) account.

 

To start, the Bill you've generated will impact the Accounts Payable, not your WIP account directly. The bill will depend on the Category or Account associated with the items you've selected.

 

If you want to transfer or reduce the WIP account, consider using a Journal Entry (JE). When using JE, I suggest seeking assistance from an accountant to set this up properly.
