Create supply exchange rule for production

Supplies are usually exchanged automatically by validating the serial number or level indicators. These indicators suggest that the supply has been changed, i.e. replaced by another.

When the supply reports the serial number or level data, no additional configuration is required for automatic exchanges to take place.

To identify whether the supply reports this data, view the supply's information.

However, depending on the settings used to manage the products, it may be the case that this data is not entered in their register.

For this reason, the yield indicator can be used to generate page volume exchanges when the supply provides capacity data.

Once the rule has been configured, the system will use the production data of the supplies of the selected members to carry out the exchanges. As soon as the supply reaches its capacity production, the exchange will take place.

When the readings of a supply indicate that its useful life is 100%, then it has reduced to 0% and then points to a 100% load again, it means that there has been an exchange for a new supply. In another scenario, when a supply reads -2%, this means that the status does not indicate the level's capacity for use, so the statuses for generating automatic exchanges are unreliable.

In this case, a production exchange can be used, based on the volume of pages printed and the supply's printing capacity.
