inventory to the COGS account designated in each inventory item.
Cost is calculated based on each inventory items average cost.
QuickBooks doesn't make any adjustments for non-inventory items.

When the Inventory Cost Manager "adjustment" is imported, all material
cost relieved by QuickBooks plus appplicable labor, overhead and other
cost is added back to inventory under the name of the completed part.
The amount added to inventory is credited to the account listed in each
non-inventory items "Income Account" field.
Labor, overhead and other cost are computed as follows:
Units For Total Amount
One Units for Rate from Added
Completed Three Item To
Item     Part Parts Record Inventory
Labor hours 0.3 0.9 10.25 9
Overhead 0.3 0.9 13.00 13
The units for one completed part is maintained in the Group item (BOM).
The total units is automatically calculated by QuickBooks on the face of the
  Sales Receipt (parts list) based on the Group quantity.
The rate is maintained in the Non-inventory Items "Cost" field. 
The amount added to inventory is calculated by the Inventory Cost Manager.
