Contracts vs Supply Quality

In my enterprise I have noticed that even though I have SQ set at 140 some of my corporations running well negative for profit had supply qualities of 270-300. I let it go a few days checking and saw that contractual agreements are overriding my supply quality setting causing many new corps to lose alot of money and not grow. Is there a way (button) to sell a corporations supplies off? Then I will have to go through each and every corporation canceling contracts for new or newer corps. This seems tedious and time consuming so I am wonduring if I am missing something here? Thanks for any help, Phil

An easier way to cancel corp contracts is select the "corporations" drop down menu followed by "contracts" and then "accept or cancel corporate contracts"

From there you can check the box for each of the contracts you wish to cancel and select "cancel marked contracts".

Also, corps generally benefit from contracting LOW COST supplies at higher quality i.e. services, HTS etc (up to around 20% of total supply) and suffer from contracting high cost supplies at high quality i.e. FMU, Electric power etc.

Look around for average supply quality (ASQ) strats on the forum for more info.

And yes, you can sell a corps stock of supplies to your country, from where you could put them on the market again.

I wouldnt thought.

i just had and issue resently where i sold goods and got less then market 100Q price.

Infact i plan to try to sell 12M units of power(270Q) on KB and see the results i SHOULD get 2.6T, if i do or dont ill post the results.

yes super, I have noticed that with electric power too. I guess its probably the same with all products but haven't checked.

Currently I buy NP at low quality from the market to "dilute" the quality of EP strategic stock to <180 before sale. This seems to give a better return overall, but is still sometimes less than I expect.

Will corporations in my country use the stock of supplies my country has on hand before buying on the market or do they go right to the market first to get supplies?

Sorry Crafty, I looked and looked but still see no way to move high Q supplies out of my corps?

No, your corps wont automatically use country stocks, they buy independently. However, you can sell stuff from your country to your corps.

trade > local corporations > country trading with your own corporations. is where you will find the pages to be able to buy and sell between your corps and country.
