**Hint**

The quantity of the material should be based on how it is used. For instance, if you buy 10 boxes of bottles and each box contains 50 bottles, and you use the bottles individually, then the total quantity should be 500 bottles (not 10 boxes), with the unit being "pieces" instead of "boxes." Additionally, the cost price should be the cost for one piece, not one box.

No, you need to add raw materials individually. However, you can use the import feature for bulk additions.
