I worked in the auto industry for over 30 years and find it WIP account and keeps the inventory value for all of the unitsĬorrect. Then turning right around and adjusting the inventory value byĭoing and inventory adjustment using the WIP account." Into inventory immediately and adding the additional costs to the WIPĪccount. Now your product is On Hand in inventory and fully costed.

I responded to on another topic where you commented. ie WIP, WIP-1, WIP-2, etcĪnd of course you use the inventory item for the car you are selling on an invoice or sales receipt.Īny costs to keep the car running after it is ready for sale is repair cost expense and not part of item cost.

You can have as many WIP accounts as you need if you are getting more than one ready at a time. The inventory item car is now in inventory with total costs to get it ready, and the WIP account is zero balance ready for the next car you need to do. Use the WIP bank account to "buy" the used car item you just created from the in-house vendor, the qty is one, and the total item cost is the total amount in the WIP account create (if you need to the first time you do this) a dummy vendor named in-houseģ. Create the inventory item for the car in the products & services listĢ.

That accumulates all costs for the car in the WIP account.ġ. If you use on hand inventory items for the repair to get it ready for sale, use inventory adjust, set the adjusting account to the WIP account and lower the qty of the items used. Purchase the used car and use that WIP account as the expense for the purchase.Īny thing you buy to repair the car is also posted to that WIP account.
