Ask what the minimum applies to
A minimum may apply to a style, colour, material or component order. Ask for the scope in writing. Avoid assuming that all variants can be added together to meet one minimum.
Prepare an assortment table
List the style, colour, size and number of pairs for each combination. Check that the rows reconcile to the total. Keep this allocation attached to the quote and update it when the commercial plan changes.
Review the component constraints
Material colour minimums, sole tooling and custom packaging can create constraints beyond the finished-shoe quantity. Discuss alternatives with the product team before choosing a smaller range or a different component.
Plan changes before approval
Changing the size curve or adding a colour after approval can affect purchasing, preparation and timing. Request a review of cost and schedule before authorising a change. Sunshine Global Sourcing confirms minimums against the actual project rather than a general website figure.
