  Key Concepts: 
  A work-in-process (WIP) account is an accounting term used to track the cost of unfinished goods in a manufacturing process. It is a type of inventory account that records the costs associated with the production of goods that have not yet been completed. The WIP account is used to track the cost of raw materials, labor, and overhead associated with the production process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The WIP account is used to track the cost of goods that are in the process of being manufactured. This includes raw materials, labor, and overhead costs associated with the production process. The WIP account is updated as each step in the production process is completed. At the end of the production process, the WIP account is closed out and any remaining costs are transferred to the finished goods inventory account. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep accurate records of all costs associated with the production process in order to ensure that all costs are accounted for and that no costs are overlooked. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the WIP account in order to ensure that all costs are accurately tracked and accounted for.
