# Contoso Procurement Policy

Document ID: CONTOSO-PROC-2026-09
Version: 2026-09-01
Classification: Synthetic workshop data. This is not an actual company's policy.

## 1. Scope

This policy applies to Contoso employees' purchases of work equipment. It defines
price caps and approval rules; it does not guarantee current stock or live prices.

## 2. Per-item price caps

All prices are in Korean won (KRW) and include value-added tax (VAT).

| Item | Cap per item |
| --- | ---: |
| Standard laptop | KRW 1,500,000 |
| Monitor | KRW 350,000 |
| Keyboard | KRW 120,000 |

Exceeding a cap for personal preferences is not automatically approved.
The regular replacement cycle for a standard laptop is 36 months from its issue date.
Exceptions for damage or loss require an individual review by IT.

## 3. Approval rules

An order total of KRW 2,000,000 or less requires team lead approval.
A total greater than KRW 2,000,000 requires both team lead and procurement approval.
An order total of exactly KRW 2,000,000 requires team lead approval.
Creating a draft is not approval, and approval does not mean an order is complete.

## 4. Inventory and orders

Use the stock lookup tool's results for stock quantities and unit prices.
If a lookup fails, do not guess stock levels or lead times.
If stock is insufficient, explain the shortage and the available lead-time information,
then ask for further guidance.
The workshop system creates purchase-request drafts only; it places no actual orders
and makes no payments.

## 5. Unsupported questions

Do not guess overseas-branch policies, individual salaries, or supplier contract
information that is not in this document.
Explain that confirmation from the responsible department is required.
