Keeping track of printer supply demand planning
When a supply is requested, a demand is created to fulfill that request, which is visible in the Supplies > Demand planning menu.
This menu allows the user to plan replenishment demands on customers.
The Current level column shows the status of the load remaining in supply.
In this way, the user can prioritize the most urgent demands and prevent the printer from grinding to a halt at the customer's premises.
Who can use this feature
