At times, buyers may send suppliers a request outside of Unimarket, that needs to be responded to within Unimarket.
Examples may include:
- A product that is not in the suppliers catalog
- Multiple products that receive a greater discount than the catalog price
- Services
- One-off inquiry
As response, the supplier will initiate a quote that is sent directly to your community. Users with the Community Administrator or Community Supplier Administrator can review, accept or decline supplier initiated quotes.
