Work In Process Stock Record

        We are on BPCS 8.0, with frozen standard costs.

        Our Accounting people cost individual transactions into and out
of shop order WIP, in order to (among other things) maintain a balance
of parts charged into WIP, but we have difficulty comparing this book
balance to a stock record at month-end. This is a substantial asset, and
we need a way to reconcile its accuracy..

        With parts inventory, the book balance can be compared to the
month-end by applying standard costs to the month-end inventory balance.


        What methods are people using to generate the same sort of
comparison for WIP?
