  Key Concepts: 
  Work in Progress (WIP) is a term used in SAP Business One to refer to the cost of unfinished goods or services that have been partially completed. It is a measure of the amount of resources that have been used to produce a product or service, but which have not yet been completed. WIP is calculated by taking the total cost of materials, labor, and overhead associated with a product or service and subtracting the cost of any finished goods or services. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Business One, WIP can be tracked by creating a WIP account in the Chart of Accounts. This account will track all costs associated with unfinished goods or services, including materials, labor, and overhead. The WIP account can then be used to calculate the total cost of unfinished goods or services.
