Publication number: US20220166889A1
Application number: 17/434,072

Abstract:
In a consumables ordering system, an image forming apparatus notifies a management system about a consumable whose remaining quantity is under a specific threshold. When a consumable whose remaining quantity is under the threshold is autonomously notified from the image forming apparatus, the management system checks the consumable whose remaining quantity is under the threshold in a specific image forming apparatus other than an autonomously notifying apparatus (S122), and notifies the autonomously notifying apparatus about the consumable autonomously notified from the autonomously notifying apparatus, and ordering information as information necessary for placing an order for the consumable checked in S122 (S129). The autonomously notifying apparatus displays the ordering information notified from the management system, and places an order for the consumable for which the ordering information is displayed in response to an instruction.
