I think you need to ask them if they are chasing dollars or inventory.
WIP is just dollars waiting to be moved into cost of goods sold, it does
have ties to things previously in inventory (assuming it has a raw
material component). There are ways to adjust cost to a job (if it
isn't closed it will adjust WIP dollars), and there are ways to move
material to and from inventory with respects to a job (which will affect
both WIP dollars and inventory).

Subject: [Vantage] WIP Adjustments
I was asked today how to make inventory adjustments to WIP. I don't know
how this can be done, since WIP is not really a warehouse. Does anyone
out there have experience in this and understand this persons question?
