Private Offers allow you to share the details of your inventory or other material lots for sale with your private network and then negotiate with each company individually on the terms, including weight and price.
Creating a Private Offer
Visit Offers under Network in the left sidebar and click New Private Offer in the upper right corner.
Step 1: Identify the Have (Matium Core subscribers)
All Network Offers must be associated with a Core Have. The Core Have is internal to your company only and describes the exact material specifications, location, weight and asking price of the lot for sale.
Core Have - Select an existing Core Have from the drop-down or click the New button to create either a new Inventory Item (owned by your company) or a new Have (owned by another company) in Core.
Material Name - Provide a name that will be shared with your links.
Material Description - Provide a description of the material that will be shared with your links.
Default Weight, Price and Shipping Terms - If you will be sharing this lot with multiple links, enter default values for each offer. You will be able to edit each offer before it is shared.
Documents - Attach any documents or images about the material lot that will be shared with your links.

Step 4: Review
Review the offer details and the list of links you are sharing with.
Click Submit to create and share the offers.

Material name, description and image
Material specifications including grade, form, color, etc.
Packaging
Location of the item only if the terms of the offer are set to FOB Origin
Weight, price and shipping terms as set for each individual offer
