B2B RFP – This is a Business-to-Business item, the Buyer is required to initiate communication by submitting a request for a price quotation (RFQ) or a request for proposal (RFP) from the Seller. This applies to cases where the Seller will submit a sales contract/proposal to a Buyer based on the Buyer’s requirement. Examples include, but are not limited to, manufacturers, exporters, raw goods suppliers, service companies that bid on projects case-by-case.
COUPON or VOUCHER – This is an offer that the Buyer will accept on the UXM and complete with the Seller usually at a later date. No payment is transacted on the UXM for this type of transaction.

c) ITEM NAME: The specific name of the item being offered goes here. Generally, this field will include the brand, product name, and model. d) RETAIL PRICE: The retail price before any discount. This can also be the list price or MSRP. All UXM optimization calculations are based on this price. For example, the discount percentage is calculated on this price, i.e., a 30% discount off of $100 Retail Price would be $30, therefore making the UXM Member Price $70. During Optimization the question “Total Profit Percentage of Retail Price you must receive after each sale” is calculated based on the Retail Price, i.e., answering this question with 50% would result in the Seller receiving $50 for each $100 sale of the item, this is the net receipt after the Buyer discount, network promotion commissions, and UXM transaction fee. The Seller may also receive a commission for the sale of their own item if the item is purchased by a UXM member in the Seller’s UXM network. e) You will be asked to input information specific to the type of transaction you are posting. f) PUBLIC or HIDDEN: Select PUBLIC to have this item viewable in the UXM marketplace by everyone.
