Manufacturing

Main article: Manufacturing

Manufacturing has three classes of inventory:

  1. Raw material
  2. Work in process
  3. Finished good

A good purchased as a "raw material" goes into the manufacture of a product. A good only partially completed during the manufacturing process is called "work in process". When the good is completed as to manufacturing but not yet sold or distributed to the end-user is called a "finished good".
