# Why is my WIP reconciliation report suddenly WAY out of balance?

KB588.htm

## Quick Answer

A non-WIP account is set as a job's WIP account.

## Overview

When viewing your Work in Progress (WIP) analysis report (SA3487), you may notice a large difference between your Net WIP balance (the total amount for your WIP transactions) and your account balance.

This can be caused by having a non-WIP account set as a job’s WIP account. The result is that not all transactions in the account are WIP transactions and this can lead to a large discrepancy.

## How do I fix this?

1. Enter the affected account number into the WIP account code filter and select Don't group, show full details.

1. Re-run the report to locate the Job codes that have this account set as a WIP account.
2. Navigate to the Job codes identified above and select the Setup tab.
3. Select Edit and update the Work in progress account details to the correct WIP account.

1. Navigate to each transaction that was processed while the previous account was set and select Edit then Update to reprocess them.
