The Work In Progress Ledger is incorporated into Lennox Computer's LILAC integrated ledger system, such that debits and credits to job costing accounts may be sourced from any part of the system of integrated ledgers: -

Creditors Ledger for subcontractor costs, Purchasing for goods & materials costs, Stock Requisition from Inventory for parts & material costs, Payroll and/or Time-cost ledger for labour costs, and General Ledger for journal and accrued costs.
Full Transaction Accrual
Each account in the WIP Ledger represents a job in a contracting context and/or a batch in a manufacturing context. All costs are represented as debits to the account with balancing credits to other ledgers in the system, and of course reversals are possible by crediting the job account and re-debiting the "other account". For example parts and materials may be transferred backwards and forwards between the WIP ledger and the INVENTORY Ledger.
Flexible Coding
LILAC provides up to 12 character job numbers which may contain alphanumeric characters, and 8 character sub account codes which again may be alphanumeric.
Sub-codes
Users may opt for one of two alternative strategies for managing sub-codes within job accounts. A Work Centre regimen which provides for a standard layout of sub-accounts for all jobs, and a Work Centre concept which allows total flexibility of sub-account structure from job to job.
The first approach is oriented towards manufacturing situations, whereas the second is appropriate for construction, contracting and fabrication situations.
Contract Administration
Original Contract sums, and details of variations are maintained in the data base, and a number of reporting functions are provided to relate contract values to budgeted and actual costs.
Budget Comparisons
Data entry, data base storage and comparison reporting enables the continuous overview and management of the progress of jobs.
Progress Claims & Automatic Cost Recovery
The software will generate and issue Progress Claim documents which provide for a combinations of summaries of pervious claims, variations, and textual description of the progress of contracts. The debtors ledger is used to manage claims, and Goods and Service tax is automatically computed and accounted for.
Cost of Sales postings are automatically generated, such that a dynamic Work in Progress balance, and Job Profitability picture is maintained.
Integrated Financial Reporting
As well as the specific job related reporting provided, the full gamut of integrated multi-period, multi-entity financial reporting is available within LILAC with fully automatic management of branch loan accounts, and financial year balancing.
