After consumable supply 102 changes to a production disabled state, the consumable supply will never return to the unauthorized state as illustrated by arrow 553 in the diagram of FIG. 6.
- IMS 204 to change the state of consumable supply 102 from an unauthorized state to a production disabled state, IMS 204 first performs a security check on an operator to validate the identity of an operator. After attaining access, the operator locally changes the state record in inventory database 220 from an unauthorized state to a production disabled state.
- the process state of consumable supply 102 can be remotely changed in inventory database 220 by computer/host server 202. For example, if an issuance location has a quantity of 100 consumable supplies that are loaded in IMS 204, a registered operator with privileges to change the process state of consumable supplies can remotely advance or locally advance (via computer/host server 202) any or all of the 100 secure cartridges from an unauthorized state to a production disabled state.
