How to use the common market

I want to know how to use the common market to contract my corporations automatic for supplies?can someone teach me please?

First thing is either setup a common market or join an exsiting one. Then create supply contracts between that country/corp and common market contract/corp

I do have a common market, the thing i dont understand how to contract the supplies to the corp for bying high ingredients to those that are less expensive and have those with cost set to low quality automatic trade? please help me to understand this, i never done this before.

Thank you so much for your help.

Hello hello,

I am reading the words but I am not clear on what you want to do. Could you please try and explain it a bit better?

Hello Letsie, thank you, what i am trying to doi, i have set the corporations to quality 120 and what Im trying to do is have high tech services quality at 220 and have all the rest at 120 quality so now do you understand? Im so sorry for lacking my speech.

Ah now I get it.

The quality a corp orders and produces is not set or influenced in/by the common market. The only thing entering and leaving a common market is the finished products you corporations produce.

If you want certain corporations to produce a lower or higher quality you have to change their settings in the corporation pages.

It is very difficult to control quality in a common market also. If you run a completely closed system, you will see the quality creep up every month as your product output is always higher quality than input, and your output becomes your supply in a closed system.

ok thank you, i did ask Andy in another thread I hope he answers soon so that we can have a new feature to put in for the corporations quality.

This is not true. High quality inputs to low process quality corporations will result in product that is lower quality than the inputs, sometime substantially. I'm still working out the exact formula, but I can provide numerous examples.

John is correct if the corp is fully upgraded. You do want to max upgrades as the corps will be most profitable.

There is a limit to the output quality that is dependent on the owner.
The max is State=270, CEO=303 and Public= 337.

There is a max on Quality Upgrades.
The max is State=200, CEO=225 and Public=250.

For each there is a 12.5% increase.

Output quality is dependent on the upgrade value.
It is also dependent on the supply quality. An average supply quality around 215 plus a full upgrade bonus will make the output quality just below the max.

Michael,
Until your corps are fully upgraded it would be time consuming to manage the average supply quality to other corps. When they are fully upgraded and you have stable production qualities you can set up contracts to other corps. Until then you can supply your country with goods that are in constant shortage.
When you do contract to your corps you have to calculate what percentage of your supply is high quality and balance that with a lower quality from the World Market. You want to have an average quality around 215 for your supplies to a fully upgraded corp.
