WIP Report

Learn how to access, configure, and manage the WIP report to track revenue, costs, and profitability across jobs.

Updated this week

The WIP (Work in Progress) report provides financial insights for active jobs with budgets, including revenue earned, costs, percentage complete, and gross profit calculations.

1. Accessing the WIP Report

To view the WIP report:

  • Click Jobs

  • The WIP tab displays by default

Note: Only active jobs with budgets appear in the WIP report.

2. Understanding WIP Report Columns

The WIP report displays the following data columns:

  • Over/under: Amount over or under-billed for the job (Revenue earned - revenue to date)

  • Revenue Earned: Revenue earned on job

  • Cost Budget: Total cost budget

  • Revenue Budget: Total revenue budget

  • Costs to Date: Costs incurred through date on filter

  • Revenue to Date: Revenue collected to date through date on filter

  • Percentage Complete: Costs to date / cost budget

  • Earned Gross Profit: Earned gross profit (revenue earned - costs to date)

  • Revenue Calculation Type: The WIP calculation type used for this job

All column totals are summed at the bottom of the report.

3. Revenue Calculation Types

Three calculation types are available:

  • Percentage of Completion (default): Calculates earned revenue based on project completion percentage

  • Cost Plus Markup: Uses budget and markup fees included in draws

  • Sold Price: Commonly used for spec projects

4. Changing Calculation Types

To change calculation types for multiple jobs:

  1. Select the desired jobs using checkboxes

  2. Use the bulk action options at the bottom to set calculation types

Edit Mode

To modify individual jobs:

  1. Click Edit Mode at the top of the page

Individual Job Settings

For jobs without complete budgets in Adaptive:

  • Download Selection: Export only selected rows (select specific jobs first)
