Hi Frank,
For packing units and minimum purchase please refer to SupplierProduct
entity fields minimumOrderQuantity and unitsIncluded. This modeling
supportive for purchasing from supplier. It works for all possible business
use cases including yours.
For sales minimum amount/quantity you may need to setup the ProductPrice
for that product of type MINIMUM_ORDER_PRICE. Once setup the customer won't
be able to purchase that product below that amount. On the basis of
requirement you can decide the price to match the minimum amout/quantity.
All this support OOTB available. HTH!
