Before a retailer (subscriber) can view or accept the items you provide, you must first offer the items. This "authorizes" the items to the retailer in your catalog. Most items are offered when the item is added. However, items can be offered or rescinded (de-authorized) as needed.
An offered item must be accepted by the retailer before it can be included in exports to their price-book systems. Offer information is provided to retailers per the schedule and method set up for each partnership.
Some retailers prefer to “auto-accept” items. Using auto-accept, filters are set up that automatically accept certain types of items, while rejecting those that do not meet the retailer's criteria.
Suppliers can offer and rescind offers, and retailers can accept or reject offers. This is shown as each item's offer status.
Offered - Item offered (authorized) to, but not yet accepted by the retailer.
Accepted -Offer accepted by the retailer.
Rescinded - Offer (authorization) to retailer canceled. Offers can be rescinded regardless of whether the retailer has accepted.
Rejected - Offer declined by the retailer.
Two methods are available for working with offers. Each topic includes steps for reviewing, offering, and rescinding offers.
Offer a single Item to multiple Retailers
Offer multiple Items to a single Retailer
You can request an Item Offer Report to get a detailed view of your items and their offer status.
