WIP Accounts
Hi
I have a question about the NetSuite help guide and field level help for WIP fields:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/section_N2335987.html#procedure_N2336006
In the above screenshot, for point a.), I don't understand:
1 why would the WIP variance account only be available on actual cost or average cost assemblies?
Aren't variances also tracked for standard cost items?
2. I don';t understand the sentence, "this is used when the reconciliation amount cannot be returned to the asset account because the amount has been shipped"
- How does an "amount" get "shipped"?
- What is the "reconciliation amount" in this context and where or why would it be returned?
