Direct inventory refers to the goods that a company holds for sale that are directly tied to its core operations. This includes products that are ready for sale or in the process of being manufactured. Direct inventory is essential for managing supply chains and meeting customer demand, as it directly impacts a company’s ability to generate revenue.

How do you calculate the ending work in process inventory?
To calculate the ending work in process (WIP) inventory, you start with the beginning WIP inventory and add the total manufacturing costs incurred during the period, which include direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Then, subtract the cost of goods manufactured (COGM) during the period. The formula can be summarized as: Ending WIP = Beginning WIP + Total Manufacturing Costs - COGM. This gives you the value of the inventory still in production at the end of the period.

The corresponding credit is made to the Raw Materials Inventory account to reflect the reduction in inventory. This entry captures the transfer of materials from inventory to production.
