In ideal world all the COP amount goes to Finished Goods. If you produced wheels and incurred 10$ for example and sold half of them then cost of sales will be 5$ and finished goods 5$. COP is not the same as COS. For example if during the production you incurred abnormall loss in the amount of 2$ and following the previous example: COP will be 10$, cost of sales will be 5, finished goods 3, and 2$ will be recognised as loss. 10=5+3+2.

In a typical production environment, the organization's cost structure is broken up into several components like
Raw-Materials
Direct Labour,
Production Overhead (which can comprise of Indirect Labour asisting Production facilities, Maintenance cost of production facilities, spares and consumables used directly in production facilities, utilities & hired services engaged by production facilities)
Sales and Distribution Overhead
Finance and Interest Costs
The cost of sales is the cost totalled upto Sales and Distribution Overhead whereas Cost of Production is totalled upto Production Overheads of the above structure. In otherwords, the cost of sales includes proportionate cost of production for the quantity of sales volume.
However, the cost of production is the cost for the volume of production generated during the period. Hence any unsold volume of production will be carrying its cost as Closing Stock Value in the balance sheet at the end of that period.
Cost of Sales otherwise known as Cost of goods sold, is the total cost of goods from initial production up to the point of it's sale. These costs include Materials costs, Labour costs, Factory Rentals and rates, Electricity used in production line, Storage costs and Transportation of both raw materials and the finished goods.
Product costing is done via process accounting, which records all the cost involved in the goods production so that the goods can be accurately valued in terms of their production cost. The additional costs after the process costing (e.g Transport, Storage etc) are also added to come up with a final cost of sales figure.
