If you are running MPS/MRP, the assumption is that you will only put into inventory the quantity based on the yield.
When you put more into inventory and then run the planning, you will receive messages to cut back planning because you have more inventory.

Why not use the minimum balance?

Subject: [BPCS-L] Safety stock

I have a notion that I can use the yield factor to build safety stocks! Does this sound far fetched. It looks like if I do this everything will still be cost properly and back flushed ok. What's the danger?
