Hi all, since the concept of virtonomics is business simulation this would be a good feature.
 
If you try to purchase some tshirts in real life from a large factory in china there is no way they are going to sell you just 1 pc, if you are lucky you can find suppliers with MOQ of 1000 pcs but nearly everyone will ask you for a full 40' container.
 
That feature will not take a lot of coding since maximum quantity is already in place.
 
Maybe a game regulation is to limit that feature to 50% of your inventory max. That last one is to protect starting players for going bankrupt if every shoes factory decides to take only 10000 pcs minimum (which I imagine is the reason the feature isnt already included).
 
And that feature could be the first step in another suggestion, one that I have already seen in the forum: private transportation. Companies could own big ships, airplanes and charge customers per ton or cbm like real life.
 
Something to think about game owners.......

And yet another advantage:
Sellers will get rid of the usual 50 orders with quantity 1 to warehouses without the need to use the impolite blacklist option. 
IT'S JUST BUSINESS!

I do like the idea as even with orders of 1 75% simply don't go threw...
 
However the minimum quantity from China is not "totally" correct. What many Chinese exporters do now isn't requiring one to order a container full, they simply ship out once shipping a container makes sense. Those who do but a containers worth will likely see a significant discount however.

Exactly, it would be more realistic and it will not require that much coding (i think) since maximum is already there.

Good idea. Instead of limiting it to 50% of inventory, I'd exempt companies with low assets (maybe $10 billion or less) from the minimum purchase requirement. That way you can have a minimum for every product you sell and none of the startups will be effected by it. It should also be easier to code as they already exempt companies with low assets from paying income taxes.
