THE MINIMUM IS A CASH DECISION
Price the inventory commitment, not just the unit.
A supplier's minimum can make a unit quote look efficient while leaving more cash and stock exposed than the selling plan can absorb.

Questions, answered.
How do you calculate minimum order quantity?
There is no universal MOQ formula: the supplier sets the minimum. This tool calculates the cash and sell-through impact of that declared quantity.
What is landed cost per unit?
In this scenario it is merchandise cost for the MOQ plus total inbound cost, divided by ordered units.
Is MOQ the same as EOQ?
No. MOQ is a supplier constraint; EOQ is a simplified cost-balancing model for replenishment quantity.
