Work In Progress Finalization

By | May 7, 2024

In Sage X3, the Work in Progress (WIP) valuation feature is designed to provide insight into the value of products that are in the production process but not yet completed. This value includes the cost of raw materials consumed, the labor time entered, and any stock receipts related to the ongoing production. The WIP valuation is essential for tracking the value of products at various stages of the production cycle.

Sage X3’s WIP valuation feature may be integrated with other modules such as Inventory, Finance, and Costing. Verify how the WIP valuation information is reflected in other parts of the system.

As the steps and features may vary based on the specific  Sage X3 version and configuration of Sage X3 in your organization, it’s advisable to consult the system documentation, user guides, or seek assistance from your system administrator or Sage X3 support.Top of Form
