Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a multi-listing combined offer are provided. A networked system receives an indication to add a combination of items from multiple sellers into a virtual cart. In response, the networked system causes presentation of a user interface showing a combination of items from multiple sellers. The networked system receives, from the buyer, a buyer offer price for the combination of items. In response, the networked system accesses, from a data storage, item information for each item of the combination of items, whereby the item information includes a seller identifier, an original item price, and shipping cost for each item. The networked system then generates, based on the accessed item information and the buyer offer price, a split offer price for each seller, whereby the split offer price is a split of the buyer offer price. The split offer price is then presented to each corresponding seller.

Abstract: Transient product master data may be used to represent temporarily used objects and resources. Instead of generating complete master data upfront, a placeholder is used in a tracking document for the temporary use. A tracking document for the temporary use includes a placeholder reference. When the product to be used temporarily is selected and ready to be physically moved, attributes and other information of the product may be sent to a management system via an interface. This information may be used to automatically generate transient material master data that is accessible using a reference. This reference may be used to update the placeholder reference in the tracking document and it may be used in further tracking documents.
