Job WIP Report
Overview
This snapshot report displays jobs that were not invoiced in full or archived up to and including the specified date. This is useful for project managers to monitor project jobs with actual costs that have not been invoiced in the time period.
To prevent specific jobs from appearing on the report, please ensure all cost centres have been fully invoiced, even if the invoice amount is zero.

If a job has been invoiced and is still appearing in the report, review the job’s breakdown table in Details > Summary. If the Invoice Percentage is less than 100%, then the job still appears in the Job WIP report.
When a job is fully invoiced, the last progress claim is labelled Final Claim. If there is a cost centre on the job with a value of zero, ensure this cost centre has been invoiced to prevent it from appearing on the report.
