Finding demands in the Marketplace
The Marketplace is the supplier-side listing of the demands buyers have published. On this page you filter down to the
demands that fit you, save the ones you care about, route a demand to a teammate when needed, and open the demand detail
to make an offer.
Marketplace access: an active seller package
To open the Marketplace, your company needs an active seller package. Without a package you see the package catalogue
instead of the demand list, and you are asked to choose a package first.
A package is the precondition not only for making offers but for seeing the demands at all. The demand list, the demand
detail, saving a demand and assigning it to a teammate are all subject to the same condition.
Filters
You narrow the list down from the Filters panel on the left:
- Search — the text you type is matched against the demand title, the description, the category name, the product
names and the demand number beginning with MP-. If you already have a demand number, you can type it directly to
find the demand.
- Category — you can select more than one category; demands falling into any of your selections are listed.
- Country — the delivery country of the demand.
- Currency — the currency of the demand.
- Quick filters — the Saved by my team, Saved by me and Assigned to me checkboxes.
The category, country and currency you select, along with the Quick filters checkboxes, appear as individual chips above
the list; click a chip to remove it one at a time. The search text you typed does not appear as a chip — you clear it
from the Search box. Clear all resets everything at once, search text included.
Your filter selection is also written into the address bar, so when you copy the page link and send it to a colleague,
the page opens with the same filters. Person-bound checkboxes such as Saved by me and Assigned to me work against the
saves and assignments of whoever opens the link.
Sorting
The Sort box changes the order of the list:
- Newest — the most recently published demand at the top (default).
- Closing soon — the demands whose offer window closes first at the top. This is the most practical option for
catching urgent business.
What you see on a card
Each card in the list summarises a single demand:
- The category path and the demand's {n} items count; if the buyer wrote the demand without an item list, it reads
Open demand.
- The demand title and the demand number beginning with MP-.
- The buyer company's name, the delivery country and the currency.
- The Published stamp and the offer closing date shown as Closes:. The top-right corner of the card also carries a
badge with the time remaining; it turns amber when less than three days are left before closing and red once the
final day begins.
- The number of attachments, if files have been added to the demand.
- A Your offer: {status} badge if you have already made an offer on this demand.
Clicking the card, or pressing the Review & make offer button, opens the demand detail.
Saving a demand
The bookmark icon at the top right of the card runs Save on the demand; on a saved demand the icon is filled and reads
Saved, and pressing it again removes the save. The same action is available from the button on the demand detail.
You can list what you have saved with Saved by me under Quick filters. Saved by my team brings up the demands saved by
anyone from your company; if a colleague saved a demand, a small badge on the card says so.
Assigning to a teammate
If a demand falls into a colleague's product group rather than yours, use the Assign to teammate button on the card (or
on the detail):
1. The dialog that opens lists your company's users; select the person who will handle it.
2. If you like, write a short note in the Note (optional) field.
3. Press the Assign button.
The assignee finds the demand with Assigned to me under Quick filters, and an Assigned: badge appears on the card and in
the detail. A demand has a single assignee on behalf of your company; when you route it to someone else with Re-assign
on the demand detail, the previous assignment gives way to the new one.
Saving your filter combination
You can store a filter combination you use often. In the Search alarms section of the Filters panel, press Create alarm
for this search, give it a name (for example "TR · Marble") and choose Save alarm. Clicking the saved entry in the list
re-applies the same filters in one move; Delete alarm removes it.
Only your Search text and your category, country and currency selections go into the saved entry. The Quick filters
checkboxes are not stored; when you click the entry those checkboxes come back cleared, and you tick them again if
needed.
This saved entry is a shortcut: you are not sent a notification or an email when a new demand matching your saved search
appears. To see new demands you have to open the Marketplace and click your entry.
What the demand detail shows
The left side of the detail page carries the Description the buyer wrote, the Requested products table if the demand was
entered item by item (Product, Code, Qty, Unit, plus HS code (GTİP), Origin and Brand where filled in), and Images &
files if anything was uploaded.
The Demand details card on the right gives you the summary facts: category, delivery country and delivery point,
currency, acceptable currencies and countries, delivery terms (Incoterms), Payment-terms request, target delivery date,
offer deadline and, where applicable, the status of your own offer. The Make an offer button beneath it opens the offer
preparation screen.
The Payment-terms request is the buyer stating a preferred payment arrangement; it does not bind your offer. You state
your own payment terms separately while preparing the offer.
Special cases
- If the demand has turned into an order, a Completed / Ordered badge appears on the card and the detail shows the
notice "This demand is completed (ordered). No new offers are accepted."; the offer button disappears. You can still
open and review the demand, save it, assign it to a teammate and keep messaging the buyer.
- When you open a demand posted by your own company, the note "This is your own demand — you cannot make an offer on
it." appears in place of the offer button.
- If the demand has been closed or delisted, the "This demand is no longer available" screen opens instead of the
detail and you are asked to go back to the Marketplace.
Bids are sealed
Nowhere in the Marketplace are competing suppliers' offers or the number of offers visible: Bids are sealed — competitor
offers and counts are hidden. On a demand you see the status of your own offer only.
