If you think it should not be changed at all, please elaborate why.

Cost price calculation is the main and often only option for controlling
your end price. Otherwise you could easily end up selling products for
less than you need to manufacture them.

In either case, the arbritary limitation to two levels is a bug imho.
You should do either no update at all (which would be wrong), or all upstream prices should be updated, if any component price, independent on the level, is changed.

You could easily avoid this discussion by adding a boolean field "Change
product cost price on component price updates" to BoM.

Title:
  Cost price calculation limited to 2 levels in product bom

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  A concrete example better than a long and difficult explanation :-)

  We have the following product A composed of the product B and product B is composed from product C. So the below BOM:
  A
  -----B
  -----------C

  If the price of B is modified, then the price of A can be also modified.
  But if i modify the price of C, only B is modified and not A.

  This is a very important blocking issue, since in most of the real prod environment, we've of course more than 2 level of boms (in some customer installation, up to 100 levels !).
  So any modification at the bottom should have a consequence on all the bom structure until the top, else OpenERP cannot be used for production.
