Explicación 발주 in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't really need to use '발주'. You should focus on '주문' (order) for ordering food or things online. However, it's good to recognize '발주' if you see it in a shop or a convenience store. Just remember: '주문' is for you as a person, and '발주' is for a business. If you are a student, you probably won't use this word yet. Think of it as a 'big brother' to the word '주문'. It is mostly used in work situations. If you see it on a sign, it means someone is ordering supplies for a company.

At the A2 level, you might start to encounter '발주' if you read about jobs or look at how Korean businesses work. It means 'placing a formal order'. You might use it if you have a part-time job at a convenience store or a small office. For example, if you need to tell your boss that the milk is finished and you need to order more for the store, you might hear the word '발주'. It's a noun, but you can add '하다' to make it a verb: '발주하다'. It's more professional than '주문하다'.

At the B1 level, you should be able to distinguish between '발주' and '주문'. You will use '발주' in business-related roleplays or when discussing supply chains. You should know common phrases like '발주를 넣다' (to place an order) and '발주서' (purchase order). If you are writing a professional email, using '발주' instead of '주문' will make you sound much more competent and natural in a Korean work environment. You should also understand that '발주' involves a process—it's not just buying something instantly.

At the B2 level, you should use '발주' fluently in professional contexts. You should understand related terms like '발주처' (the client), '발주량' (order quantity), and '발주 마감' (ordering deadline). You should also be aware of the opposite term '수주' (receiving an order). At this level, you might discuss things like '발주 시스템' (ordering systems) or '발주 오류' (ordering errors). You should be comfortable using the word in both spoken and written business Korean without confusing it with consumer-level terms.

At the C1 level, you should understand the legal and economic implications of '발주'. For example, how a government '발주' for a public project can affect the economy, or the complexities of '분할 발주' (split ordering) in large-scale construction. You should be able to discuss procurement strategies and the relationship between the '발주자' and '수급인'. You should also be familiar with academic or technical texts that use '발주' to describe industrial cycles or macroeconomic trends. Your nuance should be perfect, using it only in appropriate professional or systemic contexts.

At the C2 level, '발주' is a basic building block for discussing complex topics like international trade procurement, public bidding processes (입찰), and contract law. You should understand the nuances of '발주 방식' (methods of ordering/contracting) such as '턴키 발주' (turnkey contracts). You can analyze the strategic use of '발주' in just-in-time manufacturing or global logistics. You should be able to write formal reports, legal documents, or economic analyses where '발주' is used with high precision alongside other specialized terminology.

발주 en 30 segundos

Formal business ordering (B2B).
Used in offices, factories, and construction.
Different from consumer ordering (주문).
Often involves a Purchase Order (발주서).

The Korean word 발주 (發注) is a specialized term primarily used in business, construction, and manufacturing contexts. While the English word 'order' covers everything from a cup of coffee to a billion-dollar infrastructure project, Korean distinguishes between consumer-level ordering (주문) and professional-level procurement or contracting (발주). When a company decides to purchase raw materials, hire a contractor for a building, or request a software developer to build a system, they are performing '발주'. It implies a formal process involving specifications, contracts, and often a larger scale of transaction than a simple retail purchase.

Business Context: In a corporate setting, 발주 refers to the official act of sending an order to a supplier. This usually follows a procurement process where the needs are identified and a supplier is selected. For example, a restaurant owner might '주문' (order) their lunch from a delivery app, but they '발주' (place a procurement order) for 500kg of flour from their wholesale distributor.
Construction & Engineering: In construction, the '발주자' (client/ordering party) is the entity that owns the project and pays the '수주자' (contractor) to execute the work. Here, 발주 isn't just buying a product; it's commissioning a whole project or service. If the government wants to build a new bridge, they '발주' the project to a construction firm.

부품 재고가 부족해서 오늘 오후에 추가 발주를 진행할 예정입니다.

Translation: Since the component stock is low, we plan to proceed with an additional order this afternoon.

Understanding the nuance between '발주' and '주문' is crucial for professional fluency. '주문' is what you do at a cafe or on Amazon. '발주' is what you do in an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system or via a formal purchase order (PO). It suggests a level of professional responsibility and systematic process. If you use '주문' in a high-level construction meeting, you might sound slightly amateurish; if you use '발주' at a Starbucks, people will look at you very strangely as if you're trying to contract the barista for a long-term supply chain operation.

정부에서 신도시 개발 사업을 발주했습니다.

Translation: The government has commissioned (placed an order for) the new city development project.

Furthermore, the word is often paired with '서' (document) to create '발주서' (Purchase Order). In any Korean office, you will hear people asking, "발주서 보냈어요?" (Did you send the PO?). This confirms that the action of '발주' is not just a verbal request but a documented business transaction. It involves specific quantities, unit prices, delivery dates, and payment terms. It is the trigger for the entire supply chain process.

Using 발주 correctly requires understanding its grammatical flexibility as a noun and its common verbal form 발주하다. Because it is a formal word, it is frequently used with professional endings like -습니다 or -해요. It is also common to see it as the object of verbs like 넣다 (to put in), 진행하다 (to proceed with), or 취소하다 (to cancel).

As a Noun (Object): When used as a noun, it often takes the particle '를/을'. For example, "발주를 넣다" is a very common idiomatic way to say "to place an order" in a business setting, similar to 'putting in' a request.
As a Verb (발주하다): This is the most direct way to express the action. "우리는 다음 주에 원자재를 발주할 것입니다" (We will order raw materials next week). It sounds definitive and professional.

이번 분기 물량을 이미 발주 완료했습니다.

Translation: We have already completed the ordering for this quarter's volume.

In passive or descriptive contexts, you might see '발주되다' (to be ordered). For instance, "시스템이 발주된 상태입니다" (The system is in an 'ordered' state). This is common in status reports or tracking updates. You will also see '발주처', which refers to the organization that is placing the order (the client).

원가 상승으로 인해 발주 시기를 조정해야 합니다.

Translation: Due to rising raw material costs, we need to adjust the timing of our ordering.

When talking about the quantity, you use '발주량' (order volume). "발주량이 너무 많아서 납기를 맞추기 어렵습니다" (The order volume is too high, so it's hard to meet the delivery deadline). This sentence uses '발주' as part of a compound noun, which is very common in technical Korean. Other compounds include '발주 금액' (order amount) and '발주 시스템' (ordering system).

If you work in a Korean office, especially in departments like Procurement (구매), Logistics (물류), or Sales (영업), you will hear 발주 dozens of times a day. It is the heartbeat of corporate operations. Outside of the office, you might hear it on the news when the government announces large-scale public works or when a major tech company like Samsung '발주' (commissions) new equipment for a semiconductor plant.

In the Office: You'll hear it during weekly meetings: "이번 주 발주 현황 보고해 주세요" (Please report on this week's ordering status). Or when someone is frustrated: "협력사에서 발주를 안 받아요" (The partner company isn't accepting the order).
News & Media: Economic news reports frequently use it: "국토교통부가 대규모 토목 공사를 발주했습니다" (The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has commissioned a large-scale civil engineering project). It signifies economic activity and investment.

어제 발주한 자재는 언제쯤 도착하나요?

Translation: When will the materials we ordered yesterday arrive?

Interestingly, you might also hear this word in the context of franchise management. A convenience store owner (점주) will use an automated system to '발주' more milk, cigarettes, or triangular kimbap from the headquarters. In this case, even though it's a small shop, it's a B2B transaction between the franchisee and the franchisor, so '발주' is the correct term rather than '주문'. If you ever work part-time at a GS25 or CU in Korea, the '발주' button on the POS system will be your best friend (or worst enemy).

편의점 발주 마감 시간이 다 됐어요.

Translation: The convenience store ordering deadline is almost here.

The most common mistake learners make with 발주 is confusing it with 주문 (order) or 구매 (purchase). While they all involve getting something in exchange for money, their usage is strictly divided by context. Using the wrong one won't necessarily make you misunderstood, but it will make you sound like you don't understand Korean social and professional structures.

Mistake 1: Ordering Food: Never say "치킨 한 마리 발주할게요" (I'll 'procure' one chicken). This sounds like you are a corporate entity trying to sign a supply contract with the chicken shop. Use '주문할게요' instead.
Mistake 2: Confusing with 수주 (Suju): '발주' is giving the order; '수주' is receiving the order. If you are the salesperson who just landed a deal, you say "계약을 수주했다" (We won/received the contract). If you are the client, you say "공사를 발주했다". Confusing these two reverses the direction of money and work!

[Wrong] 식당에서 김치찌개를 발주했어요.
[Right] 식당에서 김치찌개를 주문했어요.

Another mistake is forgetting that '발주' usually implies a future delivery or a process. It is rarely used for something you take away immediately. It involves a '발주서' (Purchase Order) and a '납기' (Delivery date). If you are buying a pen at a stationery store and taking it now, that is '구매' or '구입', not '발주'. Even in a business context, if you go to the store and buy it with a corporate card, it's '구매'. If you email a supplier to send 1,000 pens next month, it's '발주'.

[Wrong] 어제 백화점에서 코트를 발주했어요.
[Right] 어제 백화점에서 코트를 구매했어요.

To truly master 발주, you need to see how it fits into the ecosystem of related Korean words. Korean has a rich vocabulary for trade and commerce, and choosing the right synonym depends entirely on the scale and the nature of the transaction.

주문 (Jumun): The most common word for 'order'. Used by consumers at restaurants, online malls, or for custom-made items. It's the 'default' word. If you're not sure, '주문' is safer, but '발주' is more professional in business.
구매 (Gumae): Focuses on the 'purchase' or 'buying' aspect. '발주' is the action of ordering; '구매' is the broader process of buying. A '구매팀' (Procurement Team) will '발주' (place orders) to suppliers.
수주 (Suju): The antonym/complementary word. It means 'receiving an order'. In a contract, one party '발주' (gives the order) and the other party '수주' (receives the order).

우리는 원자재를 발주하고, 상대방은 그 주문을 수주합니다.

Translation: We place the order, and the other party receives the order.

Other alternatives include '청구' (request/claim), which is used when asking for something internal (like asking the office manager for more paper), and '예약' (reservation), used for services or space. '발주' is specifically for goods or contracted services in a professional capacity. If you are in the software industry, you might hear '용역 발주' (commissioning a service/labor), which refers to hiring an outside firm to do specific work.

How Formal Is It?

Dato curioso

The '주' (注) here is the same character used in 'attention' (주의) and 'injection' (주사). It carries the meaning of 'pouring' your intent or request into a specific record.
