Frequently asked questions
What is cost of goods manufactured?
Opening work in progress plus total manufacturing cost less closing work in progress. It is the cost of what was actually finished in the period.
How does it differ from cost of goods sold?
COGM covers what was made; COGS covers what was sold. Finished goods inventory sits between them.
Why does WIP movement matter?
Because building WIP moves cost out of the period's profit and into inventory. It is legitimate accounting and it makes a period look more profitable than the cash suggests.
Does this apply to a business that outsources manufacturing?
Less directly, the supplier carries the WIP. Your equivalent is goods in transit, which behaves the same way in the cash cycle.
