# Work In Progress

The work in progress (WIP) report gives you a snapshot of every active project's financial health. It shows how much each job is worth, how much has been billed, how much has been spent, and whether you are making or losing money.

## How It Works

The WIP report pulls together data from your projects, AIA billing, payroll, and vendor bills into one view. For each project, it shows:

* **Contract Value** -- the total contract amount including approved change orders.
* **Billed to Date** -- how much you have invoiced the customer through AIA bills.
* **Costs to Date** -- total costs charged to the project (labor, materials, subs, equipment, etc.).
* **Estimated Profit** -- the difference between the contract value and total estimated costs.
* **Over/Under Billed** -- whether you have billed more or less than the work you have completed. This is important for cash flow and financial reporting.

This report is what your accountant or bookkeeper will ask for at the end of every month or quarter.

## Steps

1. Go to **Reports** and select **Work in Progress**.
2. Select the **As-of Date** -- the report shows the financial picture up to this date.
3. Optionally filter by **Project Status** (active, completed, all) or **Customer**.
4. Click **Generate**.
5. Review each project row. Pay attention to:
   * **Over-billed projects** -- you have billed ahead of where the work actually is. This looks good for cash flow now but could be a problem later.
   * **Under-billed projects** -- you have done more work than you have billed for. This means you are owed money.
   * **Low or negative profit** -- the project may be in trouble.
6. Click **Export** to download as a PDF or spreadsheet.
