Method for enhanching efficiency of media replenishment in media cassettes

A terminal, comprising:

• a processor;
• a plurality of media cassettes for holding media;
• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• determining that a current first media level in a first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes is above a forecast first media level for the first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes;
• determining that a current second media level in a second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes is below a forecast second media level for the second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes;
• moving an amount of first media from the first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes equal to a difference between the current first media level in the first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes and the forecast first media level for the first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes to a third media cassette among the plurality of media cassettes, the third media cassette containing a third media;
• and
• after the third media cassette being removed from the terminal, emptied of all media from the third media cassette, having an amount of third media added to the third media cassette equal to a forecast third media level for the third media cassette, an amount of second media added to the third media cassette equal to a difference between the current second media level in the second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes and the forecast second media level for the second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes, and the third media cassette reinstalled into the terminal, moving the second media in the third media cassette to the second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes.

A terminal, comprising:

• a processor;
• a plurality of media cassettes for holding media;
• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an indication from a cash management module on a remote server that a current first media level in a first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes is above a forecast first media level for the first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes;
• determining that a current second media level in a second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes is below a forecast second media level for the second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes;
• moving an amount of first media from the first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes equal to a difference between the current first media level in the first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes and the forecast first media level for the first media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes to a third media cassette among the plurality of media cassettes, the third media cassette containing a third media;
• and
• after the third media cassette being removed from the terminal, emptied of all media from the third media cassette, having an amount of third media added to the third media cassette equal to a forecast third media level for the third media cassette, an amount of second media added to the third media cassette equal to a difference between the current second media level in the second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes and the forecast second media level for the second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes, and the third media cassette reinstalled into the terminal, moving the second media in the third media cassette to the second media cassette of the plurality of media cassettes.
