Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic policy: the reviewer may approve a purchase up to and including HKD 1,000, counting goods and fixed quoted freight. Ten units at HKD 90 plus HKD 150 freight total HKD 1,050. The goods subtotal alone cannot support this reviewer’s approval. These are fictional prices and authority limits, with no tax or exchange calculation.
| Cost component | Input | HKD total | Approval treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goods | 10 × 90 | 900 | Included |
| Freight | Fixed 150 | 150 | Included |
| Proposed purchase | 900 + 150 | 1050 | Above reviewer’s 1000 limit |
Complete the recorded outcome
- List all charges included by the local approval rule.
- Calculate the proposed total in the stated currency.
- Route to the reviewer with sufficient authority before order release.
Unknown freight leaves the total unresolved; do not insert zero to pass the threshold.
If freight is revised to HKD 100, does the same reviewer meet the limit?
Show the worked answer
Yes on this amount test: 900 + 100 = 1000, and equality is included. Approval still needs the required recorded decision.
Passing a threshold is not an approval, an issued PO, an invoice approval or a payment. Record those stages separately.
