Look at the Reports under Production Control and Costing for WIP Valuation.
Inventory Management reports inventory in a warehouse.

does the above Inventory Valuation report distinguish between the FG and the
WIP for these Item numbers?

Does Mapics do this on the Inventory Valuation report?

separate Mapics reports available for the WIP (I don't see one)?
