Suggestions for corporation purchasing

I have 3 suggestions that I think would help corporations that are using contracts:

1) That corporations not make automatic purchases of goods that have supply contracts, or at least have an option to skip (or reduce) such automatic purchases. Currently: dipping below the low water mark will trigger at least a 7 month purchase "off the global market".

2) Corporations that fail to deliver the full amount of their contracts back order the shortage, to be made up in future months, with the back order showing up as another contract with a limited duration of 1 month, but for the full amount of the short.

3) That the minimum purchase order size for goods on a contract be reduced to 1 month, either optionally, or automatically, as it is presumed that the contract will continue as soon as the supplying corporation's issues get resolved.

I would also suggest that the country and company contract screens be combined, so that you can go to 1 place to review and accept contracts.

I reiterate my suggestion that contracts you offer to an entity that you also own be automatically accepted. There is 0 reason to have the multiple additional clicks to go to the other country, or a corporation in the other country, and accept the contract there. You can already offer a contract that is automatically accepted by the same country.

Similarly: Trading within your country counts as local. Trading with another country you control is considered international, and a negative. This would be like Wisconsin considering it a negative to sell cheese in other states.

Or like a national chain considering it a negative to distribute to all of their franchise locations. If you own both countries, it should be a positive more so than trading with other players in your market group.

I only glanced at this, because i'm short on time, but

And PLEASE stop sending multiple mail messages everywhere each time a contract is offered. I had about a hundred messages just from my robotics corporation to set up the supply lines with the rest of my corporations. Each message takes multiple clicks to remove.<!-/Quote-!>

I don't feel as strongly, but i'd say this should be considered. I've got over 3k messages in my inbox, from the direct sales stuff i do on TA, often times, dozens of messages in my TA main

Agree. In particular when sending corporations from your own ceos to your own countries as well.

The majority of messages in my inbox are from things I initiated myself. I do not need a notification of what I just did.

I used common market for corporation contracts and from time to time made contracts for limited amount of months for products that need fractions of products, such as wind farms for assets management or fighter planes for airforce maincenante. Just to avoid deleting messages in the home page.

I do not remember seeing it before.

we do have a command to contract all products from a corporation to a country and accept.
We will find similar situations and try to cut down on obsolete messages and clicking to accept such internal account offers.
