In my experience of accounting for manufacturing there are two methods:
 - standard cost - manufactured items go into stock at the standard cost and the difference between actual and standard is handled via exception accounts (depending on the degree of analysis the business requires)
 - actual cost - manufactured items go into stock based on the actual costs booked against the job (and if the costing method is average cost then that is calculated at that point for valuing SOH) with no variances.

Now my experience has been with discrete rather than process
manufacturing, so maybe there is a difference there.

If actual cost is used then I would expect the system to be able to
capture the inputs correctly - any products consumed plus machine time
plus labour costs. My current requirement is very simple - it only has
some labour time which can be accounted for via a task (ie as a product
in the BOM) and I haven't investigated how OpenERP deals with normal
labour and machine recovery, but I still consider the principle to be
the same.

Title:
  Cost for manufactured items

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Based on 6.0.2 Anglo-Saxon

  Manufactured product with costing method = average price. Made a
  product - updated SOH but cost not updated.

  Also, if a manufactured product is a combination of products and
  services (ie the labour involved in manufacturing) I can see the task
  being created but how is that time captured in the manufacturing order
  (and should be included in costs updated)
