There is no direct relation between beer and beer container. The 
transformation defines that beer is a component for producing beer container.
However beer and beer container should be associated to a same categorie : 
product_line/drinks for example.
The use of "consumer_unit_quantity" allows then to produce global reports in 
wich you see that by selling 1 "beer" and 1 "beer container", you sold 
actually 7 consumer units of "drinks".

You can define a reverse transformation "unpacking beer container" in which 
you define how several beers can be produced by unpacking a beer container.
